KDE's Elisa Music Player Prepares Its First Alpha Release

[Vistaus]

I can get Netflix and Amazon Video here in Kuwait, but I cannot get _any_ paid Music service (Spotify, Amazon, Google) to work here. Only ITunes work locally but I refuse to use it. Fuck the music industry!

Deezer has a decent web interface and should work in Kuwait (it's on the "supported countries" list).

Deadbeef is my second favorite though. I especially like how it shows the bit rate on-the-fly for MP3s ripped with a variable rate..

I don't know about Elisa, but I can't think of many players not showing the bitrate on-the-fly for MP3's ripped with a variable rate. Only a few simple ones like GNOME Music, the media module of gThumb, Totem, JuK etc. lack that feature but most others do have that feature.

I use Sayonara player, it is light fast and is my favorite player.

For people looking for simple and well featured players, there is always Qmmp in Qt (both 4 and 5) and Audacious (GTK). Both took the torch from XMMS and are still actively developed.

Did you mean Audacious? Audacity is a sample editor. Love Audacious myself, it's my go to audio player.

For people looking for simple and well featured players ...Audacity (GTK).

You mean audacious. And it has both GTK and Qt interfaces.

[M@GOid]

Yes I mean Audacious. Fixed it :-)

Plesse, in your experience which playersbetter support "bigger" libraries?

Something like iTunes will never happen on Linux. The closest you can get is something browser-based, like what Amazon and Google offer.

Apparently, many here have not heard of Tomahawk Player?
