Ports for good audio apps

[Alex Huth]

Hi!

I have succesfull changed my laptop from debian to freebsd. Only one point
missing, a good working app for my huge mp3 library. What i found so far:

qout libet
A very old port (1.x), missing some important features like dynamic playlists

songbird
A app wich comes the best app (foobar2000) very near. Unfortunately i canŽt
get it playing any song and there is no port for it.

atunes
Very good so far, but some strange behaviours. One of these is that it doesnŽt
show the path of any song. For example i have subfolders (checked, unchecked,
noID), because i tag my songs with Jaikoz. When i import the songs, all songs
where imported, but only the the path of the songs in the first folder is
shown.

OK, there is amarok but i donŽt want the whole kde stuff, because i am using a
minimalistic way of desktop (xfce4, mutt, etc.)

So my questions: Is there any work one qout libet or songbird? Is there a way
or app to handle my most important feature (dynamic playlists, rating) from
the console?

thx

Have you tried VLC?

It plays videos also, along with pretty much any audio codec you can
think of, but is a fairly minimalistic interface also.

It allows creation of playlists etc. and does anything I need it to.

I personally prefer Amarok (I am also running xfce4) and have a hard
time using any other program to be honest.
