    Is this really a KDE music player or a music player that happens to be written for the KDE environment?
    If it is written by KDE developers, there is no difference. KDE is a community.

      I'd love to... but it's still as limited as last time I checked it.

      According to their Wiki, it lacks support for the following formats which I play:
      • Various AdPlug formats like LDS and HSC
      • Various chiptune formats that Audacious and QMMS support via Game_Music_Emu such as SPC, NSF/NSFE, GYM, GBS, and VGM.
      • PSF (Audacious handles PSF1 and PSF2 via OpenPSF)
      • Various things handled by libsndfile like Creative Labs VOC and Sun Microsystems AU (Un-transcoded dumps/rips from some DOS and Java games)


      It's bad enough that Audacious hasn't had a UADE plugin in nearly a decade and dropped support for outputting MIDI to an external hardware synth a few years ago. (I've actually considered writing a frontend which even handles managing the playlist and expects Audacious to be in "flush the playlist whenever a new song is added" mode so I can take over all play control and lash together multiple players behind a single GUI... sort of like how the old Skype plugin for Pidgin worked.)

              VLC has major issues with Multi-Angle DVDs. It's a Taboo subject for some but in the late 90's and early 2000's there were some Pornography DVD's that had multiple angles which don't work in VLC. Many Non-Pornography Multi-Angle DVDs don't work either. They all work in Xine and only Xine -- no other Linux DVD player supports Multi-Angle DVDs (that I have found) other than Xine. As far as Music, VLC is good but I find Audacious to be much better.

                Always innovating.

                  @Mike Frett, perhaps VLC would gain support for them if community would sent some such DVDs to the devs, perhaps they would be willing to try them out properly. :-D

                    That hasn't happened to Linux. And what you're talking about seems to be more of a problem of small team projects and less a problem of open source.
                    But as a user of Krusader and Seamokey (and Amarok and Picasa), I understand where you're coming from.

                      I'm not an expert like the rest of you on phoronix, but isn't this the sad thing about KDE?
                      I mean, there's genuine issues with KDE, like wayland support, ksmserver crashing, plasma-mobile etc.
                      KDE saying they are underpowered, that they need more people, then time goes wasted on projects like this.
                      If there's one thing nobody needs it's more music players.
