It can play Internet radio streams; managing some media devices, playlists; supports visualizations, Audioscrobbler API. It was made as a spin-off of Amarok 1.4 and is a rougher version of said program.
* [[Exaile]] is a free software audio player for [[Unix-like]] operating systems that aims to be functionally similar to [[KDE]]’s [[Amarok (software)|Amarok]]. Unlike Amarok, Exaile is a [[Python (programming language)|Python]] program and uses the [[GTK]] toolkit.
* [[Guayadeque Music Player]] is a free and open-source audio player written in C++ using the [[wxWidgets]] toolkit.
* [[Muine]] is an audio player for the [[GNOME]] desktop environment. Muine is written in [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]] using [[Mono (software)|Mono]] and Gtk#. The default backend is GStreamer framework but Muine can also use xine libraries.
* [[Quod Libet (software)|Quod Libet]] is a GTK based audio player, written in Python, using GStreamer or Xine as back ends. Its distinguishing features are a rigorous approach to tagging (making it especially popular with [[classical music]] fans) and a flexible approach to music library management. It supports [[regular expression]] and [[Boolean algebra]]-based searches, and is stated to perform efficiently with music libraries of tens of thousands of tracks.
* [[Rhythmbox]] is an audio player inspired by Apple [[iTunes]].
* [[Songbird (software)|Songbird]] is a cross-platform, open-source media player and web browser. It is built using code from the [[Firefox]] web browser. The [[graphical user interface]] (GUI) is very similar to Apple iTunes, and it can sync with Apple iPods. Like Firefox, Songbird is extensible via downloadable add-ons. It's able to display lyrics retrieved from the net, and also the ones embedded through metadata (ID3v2 tag) after adding the LyricMaster plug-in. Linux official support for Songbird was discontinued in April, 2010. But in December, 2011 a group of programmers forked it openly as [[Nightingale (software)|Nightingale]].
