LTD602 Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Well, my vote goes to juK. Easier to use and set up, and has a much cleaner interface. Anyone else? Moved to Everything Linux - Artificial Intelligence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkelve Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 amaroK. I did not have to set it up, since SuSe includes it by default and I find the interface easier than JuK, I especially like the shortcuts (Win/Tux key + other key) for stop, play, forward, backward, ...

LTD602 Posted November 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 (edited) By the way, anyone hear about an upcoming amaroK version that will be able to play video (!) and organize virtually all of your media?? That would be sweet. Edited November 26, 2004 by LTD602 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 I used to like Juk best but than got trouble witth arts (mplayer wouldn't work with it). Juk can't live without it so know I'm using Amarok and gstreamer. It's nice and I like the coverart and the links to amazon.com. Pity the tag information guessing from musicbrainz doesn't work with the Mandrake version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be sweet. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, according to Kde.org news, there are no plans for video playing in amaroK. But I know the new version *will* be able to fetch lyrics for the songs you are playing :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyme Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 i don't think this thread is about iTunes, winamp, WMP, XMMS, or mplayer guys :P i believe this is a simple question about amaroK and juK ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyv Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 I prefer juk to amorak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arthur Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 iTunes isn't bloated. It's cool, rhythmbox is based on it (rhythmbox isn't as good, though). For streaming audio and such - playlist management is easier on iTunes and its ilk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KopiX Posted November 30, 2004 Report Share Posted November 30, 2004 Started out with JuK, then arts broke, surprise surprise. That pretty much ended JuK's career on my computer. AmaroK is awsome! The new features and ease of it is just getting better and better. Its so much better than anything I ever found on Windows!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
