RogueHart Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 answered! do not reply sorry for the large size above. people seem to not read the post ive tried amarok and it works on rare occasions but 90% of the time it just crashes and im tired of trying to deal with it. xmms is no longer available. xmms2 has multiple frontends but none that ive found so far that i like. anything remotely like winamp or even something like amarok would be perfect but something that works is what i need.

Sparda Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Amarok ftw. I'v never had any problems with it and I find it's better than any thing else available on Windows or OS X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zelleie Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I'm with RogueHart, Amarok does well. You could try Songbird. I like that one too, and it did a decent job managing my tunes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogueHart Posted November 8, 2008 Author Share Posted November 8, 2008 I'm with RogueHart, Amarok does well. You could try Songbird. I like that one too, and it did a decent job managing my tunes. sparda said amarok rocks. im the one who asked the question lol. but ill check out songbird :) thanks amarok works on occasion and when it does its the 2nd best music management software ive used next to winamp. but for the most part it crashes randomly under 3 circumstances all at the start of the program 1(most common). it starts playing but theres no sound. then the lil animation(sound bars at the bottom of the browser window) stop moving and the program stops responding. 2(second most common). i click play and it says its playing but its cycling through the songs without playing a sound. theres no delay it just flashes the names of the song and stops responding 3(only happened twice). it updates my collection and crashes halfway through. edit: songbird's interface and everything would be perfect but it wont play anything. i click play, the play/pause button shows pause as if its playing. but it stays at 0:00 and not a sound coming through.

RogueHart Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Sorry about that RogueHart....the effects of boozin early in the afternoon....tragic.... ok, lets break it down a lil, what OS/Distro are you using? lol no problem. thought it was funny i am using ubuntu studio 8.1 so far the only reliable music playing software ive had is xmms2 with 2 different frontends depending on how i feel like using it that day. but the interface is terrible and none of the frontends ive tried have any real sense of management. its just load up the files and play. which wouldnt be an issue if the 900+ songs werent in complete disorder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shido Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Well i used to use amarok but for some reason it gave some naming problems so i gave up on it and tried something else, now i use Rhytmbox and i love it. Maybe you should give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machstorm Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have to go with Amarok, although I did like Banshee all the way up until an update that made it unusable. If the folks over at Banshee fixes the issue I will be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
