I need 3 features in an audio player:

  1. Native Replay Gain support
  2. A playlist that can be shuffled/randomized
  3. Last.fm scrobbling

The only media player I could find in the repositories that had these
three things, Audacious, doesn’t work right, the display’s all screwy.

I’m on openSUSE 11.1 w/ KDE 4.

  • YAOMTC

just curious, why native replay gain?

Uwe

Because Amarok 1.4’s external script lags. :frowning:

Did you check the article on Wikipedia?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replay_Gain

It has a nice list with media players supporting replay gain.

I had checked that list, and I compared it to this one:

‘Last.fm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia’
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last.fm#Audioscrobbler_plugin)

The list of applications was thus greatly narrowed down to:
Audacious (wouldn’t work right)
Banshee (didn’t have a playlist that could be shuffled)
Exaile (couldn’t get it to start)
Songbird (too demanding, and does not have global shortcuts)
Rhythmbox (again, playlist cannot be shuffled)
VLC (same problem, + no global shortcuts)

Fortunately, Audacious now works. Must’ve been a temporary glitch for
that session. So, problem solved. :smiley:
