“If you like mplayer, you will love SMPlayer and
Gnome-Mplayer. Both SMplayer and Gnome-Mplayer are really good
MPlayer front-ends and they do work great. SMplayer has long been
my favorite multimedia player in Ubuntu and we have even featured
SMplayer among the most wanted multimedia apps for Ubuntu.“SMPlayer
“SMplayer is an incredibly good front end of award winning
MPlayer multimedia player for Linux. SMplayer can play the most
known audio and video formats without any need of external
codecs.”
