Best Linux music player: 5 reviewed and rated

“Most desktop distros include at least one music player, which
many people won’t even think about changing. But with Ubuntu 11.04

should try: Rhythmbox, the default Gnome player; Amarok, the
default KDE player; and Banshee, a player that has been around for

added Songbird, a music player built on the Mozilla codebase; and
the doughty VLC, which has been playing media in various formats
and on various operating systems since 1996.”
