Memoirs of a QWERTY Keyboard

Am over Amarok. Say hello to Listen.

Listen Player is much like Rhythmbox but with more management, functionality and looks thrown in. But that doesn’t make it any complex to use at all!

Amarok’s library manager is what had me attracted to it for a full year, but it being a KDE application and Exaile being far from its best features as a GNOME replacement, made me look for other alternatives.

From Listen’s Website page:

Listen is an audio player written in Python. Thanks to it, you can easily organize your music collections.

It supports many features such as Podcasts management, browse Shoutcast directory.

It provides a direct access to lyrics, last.fm and Wikipedia info.

It intuitively creates play-lists for you by retrieving information from last.fm and what you most frequently listen to.

So you see, its very intelligent at what it is, and also being Python-ic, its easy to add things to it as well.

Install Listen and give it a try atleast! :D

Here’s a screen-shot from my Listen player:

To install on Ubuntu – Click this or run: sudo apt-get install listen

On the other side of the topic, I wish Viji a very happy 18th birthday. Enjoy your day! :D

  1. Looks good (much like Rhythmbox). Will try it.

    And Amarok takes a lot of time to load on GNOME. ;)
