Summary: It has potential, it's problems appear to be gstreamer based.

Details: It does not have a plugin feature to add things like cross-fade or visualisation. But it does have a correct "spirit".

Pros: Simple to use, powerfull rating, searching.

Cons: Blocks audio from other apps(gstreamer?), hangs when url to play is broken, no crossfade or plugins

Period used: 2 months

Submitted by Scott Crowe on 17-Dec-2004 22:18:47

Summary: Excellent navigation but lacking other features

Details: I converted to Rhythmbox from XMMS almost as soon as the first time I used it. The sound is excellent and searching/sorting by artist/genre/track/album is simple. The only real lacking feature for me is an EQ. I miss that feature, being a former XMMS junkie, although I must say that even without an EQ Rhythmbox still sounds better than XMMS did! XMMS-like plugins would be a nice addition also.

Pros: Easy to use, good searching/sorting features

Cons: No EQ, plugins, or visualizations

Period used: 2 months

Summary: A GNOME playlist-based audio player

Details: Rhythmbox is a playlist-based Audio Player. It is distributed with Fedora Core 3, and is useful at playlist-based tasks. It uses GNOME, so KDE-only users can't use it unless they have GNOME libraries.

Pros: Good for playlists, uses OGG, blends with GNOME

Cons: Not skinnable, horrid for single-song work, no MP3 (may just be FC3), FoxyTunes support sucks

Period used: Install of FC3-now

Summary: would like visualizations like in xmms and xine

Details: The first time you start it up, it builds a library of your music, which seems to work well. The drawback is it takes a LONG time (about 3 hours for me, with about 6000 songs)

Cons: no visualizations

Submitted by wistaria on 06-Dec-2005 22:20:43

Summary: Very spartanic, but easy to use player

Details: Execpt the audioscrobbler mode, this player has got almost no features at all. No album images, no lyrics, no "smart" play lists, just plain old playback. However, it is very easy to use, but has got a nasty error on updating a directory, which causes the same song to appear multiple times in the database. The local xml "database" is also a big con, since it makes it impossible to use the same metadata on two different machines. In the ages of WLAN, mySQL and PostgreSQL, this limitation is ridiculous.

Pros: Easy to use, perfect Gnome integration

Cons: very spartatic player, nasty errors, only local xml "database"

Period used: 6 months

Other products used: xmms, amarok

Summary: rhythmbox interface works well / grip unsupported

Details: I use rhythmbox on Redhat Enterprise Linux WS 4.0u2. I also use grip (cd playing only), and foxytunes seems to support rhythmbox but not grip. It would be cool if foxytunes could support grip also.

Pros: rhythmbox works well / does not support CD playback

Cons: grip is not supported, would like grip support for CD playback

Summary: foxytunes is not completely working fine

Details: I use Ubuntu Feisty and RhythmBoz 0.10.0 is my music player. Foxyfawn can launch the player but other functions are pretty useless - FoxyFawn can only mute/unmute the player other then that, the other functions don't do anything. VLC would be my second choice - it is best to play individual files but when it comes to arranging and playing everything in my library, RhythmBox is great.
