Rhythmbox is a very easy to use music playing and management program which supports a wide range of audio formats (including mp3 and ogg). Originally inspired by Apple's iTunes, the current version also supports Internet Radio, iPod integration and generic portable audio player support, Audio CD burning, Audio CD playback, music sharing, and Podcasts. You need the python-coherence package for DLNA/UPnp sharing plugin.

    Nothing short of amazing. Knocks Windows Media Player to the curb

    Nice little media player for Linux. When I've used it, it wasn't the speediest thing out there. A bit of lag when changing songs for some odd reason. For free, though, I can't complain.

    Ok, but not great. Can't scan multiple, non-hierarchical music directories, UI is average w/ limited preferences/options.

    Light, simple, inexpensive.
    BUT lacks of features found in Amarok
    For the podcast follow-up, I am not able to have it as a background automatic task for instance...
    Perfect for a casual user because of its simplicity
    Too simple for an advanced user who needs more features.

    I don't understand why many people thik that Rhythmbox is the best. It's good player no more. Banshee, Amarok, Songbird is more powerfull.

    Good media player, but doesn't have everything other players (like iTunes, or even Songbird) have to offer. I use it whenever I'm in Ubuntu, but it still really disappoints me that there's no cover art view of selecting albums to play. You're stuck with a list. Which, in reality, is like using iTunes with less features and one third of the views...your third being the less effective one. : P
    But all in all it's good enough to not be annoying, and it runs really well!

    It's free and open source. I wish I could skin it and it had controls for its system tray mode. Otherwise, it's great for my old computer.

    Rhythmbox es, a mi parecer uno de los mejores Reproductores de audio para linux. Reproductor por defecto de Distros Lideres, como ubuntu.

    Si bien su interfase es muy sensilla, cuenta con todo lo que se puede nesecitar para reproducir nuestras colecciones de musica.

    Si bien podria tener mucho mas, hace lo justo y necesario, por eso no es complicado, pero lo que hace, lo hace perfecto.

    Ademas cuenta con la posibilidad de descargar plug-ins que le permite ampliar su versatilidad, con plug-ins como Last.fm, ipod sinc y demas.

    Muy recomendable!
