“The interface is divided between the playlist, which
by default takes most of the window space, an artists widget, an
albums widget and a left side bar with access to podcasts, library,
podcasts, services which also displays cover art for the currently
playing album.

“The playlist allows columns like artist, album, quality,
location, play count and it can also be sorted. You can customise
which columns to be shown and which not in the Edit ->
Preferences window, General tab. You can shuffle or repeat the
playlist too.

“The side bar includes tabs for a complete customisable queue
which you can also save to a file, music library, podcasts, Last.fm
integration, radio and playlists. Aside from those, Rhythmbox also
offers access at two music stores which are integrated inside it:
Magnatune and Jamendo. Those two are renowned websites which
feature artists composing music using a free, permissive
license.”
