Several players now have this feature, but the best I've found is Audacious 2.4.0 from Benjamin Drung's backport. I haven't checked if the 'official' 2.4.0 release now has this working out of the box, and I'm not at my own computer right now, but if you want to listen to Dark Side of the Moon or another album where the tracks run into each other, that's my recommendation. Works with CDs or mp3, ogg, etc... from the get-go without a hitch.hhhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115236289668114915.post-87492868080812631532010-11-30T23:58:27.888+02:002010-11-30T23:58:27.888+02:00Well there, nice list !

I prefer the minimalistic appoach of managing my music library from the file manager and playing songs through selecting them and opening them in the player.

Believe it or not, nothing has proven better than mplayer for one simple reason: everything I've tried since xmms has horrible CPU usage. I dislike programs that use more CPU power than really required for the functionality they provide. <br /><br />So I was wondering: any word on the CPU usage profiles of any of these music players? That would be great! <br /><br />Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8115236289668114915.post-35224316680509049772010-11-30T06:51:57.437+02:002010-11-30T06:51:57.437+02:00I also use Gmusicbrowser, it took me awhile to fin...I also use Gmusicbrowser, it took me awhile to find a player as quick with large collections.

I then get a fullscreen player showing album art and control buttons. Clicking on the screen displays the album tracks and I can get to each songs properties by pressing alt+p (a shortcut i set up myself). I can then sit my laptop in the corner and use it as a sort of jukebox whilst I do other things.
