“Decibel is a music player built in GTK which takes a
different approach when it comes to the way features are
implemented, and that is, Decibel uses only plug-ins which can be
enabled or disabled on demand. This makes it either a pretty
featured player, or a very simple and basic one, depending on which
plug-ins you need enabled.

“The first thing I liked after opening Decibel was its slogan,
which goes “…And Music for All” (Metallica anyone?)

“The interface is clean and simple, and according to the
official website, it follows the GNOME HIG (human interface
guidelines). To the left there is a tree view listing files and
folders which can be be added to the playlist. It also includes
three view modes, full mode (shows everything), playlist mode
(shows only the playlist), and mini mode (shows only control
buttons, cover – if enabled, artist, title and album).”
