Free Software's new audio heir apparent

NewsForge has a nice review of Rhythmbox, the popular GNOME music player and manager. If you don't know Rhythmbox already read the article and maybe it will get you interested in trying it out.

Re: Free Software's new audio heir apparent

Rhythmbox is a fundamentally borked bit of software. You organise your music by its tags... but you can't edit the tags... so you can't organise your music... meaning the program is just about worthless.

I've never been able to use it for anything. Even playing music was easier and quicker using XMMS. It's not encouraging when developers completely misunderstand what it is they are trying to write.... I'm not confident for its future, and until someone slaps a bit of sense into the devs I genuinely hope it never becomes part of GNOME.
