Description:

Rhythmbox is a very easy to use music playing and management program which supports a wide range of audio formats (including mp3 and ogg). originally inspired by apple's itunes, the current version also supports internet radio, ipod integration and generic portable audio player support, audio cd burning, audio cd playback, music sharing, and podcasts.

6 months ago	melisa	5	Very good for music. I don't like use it to watch video.
10 months ago	klaue	2	They changed it, now it sucks: They removed the tray icon because of gnome 3, meaning you have to keep the window open all the time. Banshee it is then, bye rhythmbox, were some great years

10 months ago	hammerron	4	I try others and often com back to this.

11 months ago	davedarr	5	Easy t use and works well
11 months ago	seancan	5	does what i need it to do unlike the others
1 year ago	bhilmers	1	Way too cumbersome to manage the library if files are renamed or deleted.
1 year ago	Mazhar	5	Good and favorite.
1 year ago	Des_to_Windoze	1	I will never use this again, it renamed my entire music library as "unknown". VLC is much better.

1 year ago	Chikinho	4	dsdsd
1 year ago	holtho70	5	Endlich mal eine Alternative zu banshee!!!
1 year ago	sapiensantiquus	4	Rhythmbox has been able to do everything I needed it to do. Not amazing, but pretty good.
1 year ago	cc11rocks	4	Is what I use to play my music. I like it better than Banshee because I have had library issues and duplicate entries for music that is on a separate partition. The cross-fading is excellent and I love this music organizer and player. It works great and plays the music that I need to play. Seems to be a tad simpler than Banshee, although the support for album artwork is questionable.
1 year ago	SteveThePirate	4	So far So good, Worth a Download for Cross-Fading Alone ;)
1 year ago	ropetili	3	good but too full of text.
1 year ago	crismblog	5	Excellent and my favorite

1 year ago	tackleberry61	5	Way better than Banshee
1 year ago	olegrumpy	5	Use it all the time for downloading my favorite podcasts and transferring to my mp3 player. Works the best of all the apps I've tried.
1 year ago	krustyarmor	4	Handles massive audio libraries better than banshee. Missing some basic features such as an equalizer and skins. If banshee keeps crashing on you, rhythmbox is your solution.
1 year ago	Boringbytes	4	Downloads are a bit slow, but I like it much better than Banshee.
1 year ago	NickH	2	Somewhat useless.
1 year ago	Anleoje	2	Prefiero Banshee 100% mejor! xD
1 year ago	augusto_mint	4	It's stable and gets the job done.
1 year ago	ratedrampage	5	Crashes a lot less than Banshee and can handle a larger library.

1 year ago	Kraft	4	Works not bad, but there is no equalizer.
1 year ago	Hil002	2	Prefiero Banshee!!! que si tiene EQ
1 year ago	mparfitt	3	Anything's better than iTunes, but Banshee works best for me with music library on NFS.
1 year ago	rogerporti	5	Simple, funcional y estable.
1 year ago	bentanic	5	Has a lot more plugins than Banshee and works just as well.
1 year ago	dragondave53	4	Crashes less than Banshee!

1 year ago	Camille4000	5	Simple et agréable à utiliser + 5
1 year ago	taohansen	4	bom
1 year ago	Labby	3	It's not the greatest media player, but it does get the job done. I give it a "so so"!
1 year ago	SrMint	5	Pena que não vem mais por padrão no Mint :/ \| Mas é um ótimo player.
1 year ago	acoutinho	4	Great to listen to your music. Easy to use and simple.
1 year ago	sigurd1701	5	simple and powerful, missing cd-rip / import media tool like soundjuicer
1 year ago	pootman256	5	Fantastic media player. Simple, easy to add and maintain library, and smooth playing.
1 year ago	tek_heretik	5	simpler and better than Amorok, etc.
1 year ago	mdowden	3	Slow and locks up often, but I like the features.
1 year ago	galen	3	hog, daap server is unstable, good random playlist. Banshee is also buggy & more of a hog.
1 year ago	SeventhReign	5	Its not my preferred player, but as there is nothing wrong with it and it works great I have to give it a 5.
1 year ago	rocker	5	essential
1 year ago	mitanshugamer	2	Holy crap. memory hog. Try gmusicbrowser instead..
1 year ago	Andria	4	respect!
1 year ago	satishkc	4	Love it! Mostly just works & respects users' prefs much better
1 year ago	gwaro	3	its fine but i prefer songbird
1 year ago	dumsterdave	3	slow, limited features, but works
1 year ago	Althorion	4	It has all the features I need. It could be faster, though...
1 year ago	gilnord	3	Je préfère Banshee car Rythmbox n'a pas d'égalisateur(equaliser)
1 year ago	Mason-	2	I prefer Banshee, though they are similair it has better features, and it's just personal prefereance. Good music player, rather simple though.
1 year ago	alaak	5	Is able to play last.fm Radio
1 year ago	pfjap-paco	3	I prefer Amarok, Rhythmbox is just too simple for me.
2 years ago	bulmaro90	4	Excelente reproductor de música
2 years ago	CDEX	3	Not useful, outdated, but simple. I uninstalled it because it can't give me all that i need in a player.
2 years ago	jonna	4	I like banshee for the art alnum search
2 years ago	akanashiro	3	it doesn't have equalizer!
2 years ago	JoSch	2	i prefer banshee. very similar but more functional
2 years ago	B_Tide	2	also prefer amarok under gnome!
2 years ago	Ebenezer	4	Simple GUI, and does what i want - play my music. Not too bloated (i don't need sometimes misleading wikipedia entries or lyrics - if i want those, i can google them myself)
2 years ago	Ciprian	5	Awesome! But like alextsr says, is A bit outdated.
2 years ago	alextsr	2	Basic app. A bit outdated.
2 years ago	guv999	4	Easy to use and stable. Could improve with better metadata support and cover art etc Works with my Creative Zen very well
2 years ago	groovydaddy	3	Simple app. Good GUI. Supports many types of media. Does not have EQ or other features I would like to see. I use VLC for almost all of my multimedia (music, movies, etc).
2 years ago	vonvalley	3	i personally don't like it. try out clementine
2 years ago	HATRED	5	When you close it, Click on the volume icon. There is << pause >> , Also on the volume icon if you click on sound preferences and applications youcan lower the volume of Rhythmbox or any other application that has sound
2 years ago	jimmyMaruchan	4	I don't know how to get the sound to stop playing when I close the program in GUI. Without hitting the pause button first, that is.
2 years ago	dardevelin	4	very good program, if you install banshee you even have a sound quality gain on both
2 years ago	maxmir	2	Tries to do everything and fails. I prefer audacious and gpodder
2 years ago	burjans	2	I think audacious is better
2 years ago	bentinc	4	My favourite music player for Linux. It can do everything I need and it is faster than Banshee.
2 years ago	anatolik2008	5	Really great player for Linux
2 years ago	Ioseph	5	My choice OSS replacement for winamp.
2 years ago	cMo2011	4	Works great, looks decent. My only grip would be that it doesn't auto-mount non-linux drives that have music added.
2 years ago	CyruzWings	4	At least this player can play my favorites music
2 years ago	ReckouNT	1	apt-get remove rhytmbox
2 years ago	Flaker	3	does not support urls with m3u? maybe to basic at the moment.
2 years ago	goodspeed	4	my favourite media player
2 years ago	cmaew04	5	A better replacement for Windows Media Player. Organizes my songs well and does not have the overkill that Windows Media Player does..
2 years ago	jajodo	4	Solid, simple. Not as full featured as Banshee. Does not sync android devices.
2 years ago	Timmythepirate	4	better than banshee
2 years ago	mpkingsley	2	Two features that i miss from banshee are 1) gapless playback and 2) replay gain correction. Very Simplistic gui, great for the casual user.
2 years ago	cybertriveni	4	gr8
2 years ago	akash211	5	I can't live without it on mint. I use it everytime on my laptop
2 years ago	noman2008	5	super player. but wher is equlizer.
2 years ago	ebest97	2	Ok but Banshee is better
2 years ago	grim	5	I use it everyday, lacks some minor features... but works smoothly!
2 years ago	bunty-arnab	4	Nice Dedicated Music Player
2 years ago	JeanGrosJean	2	Keeps freezing on me. Then, as with most other music players like Amarok or Banshee, it organizes my music for me, which I don't like, so I use QuodLibet, the best.
2 years ago	vioviocity	3	Its okay... gets the job done.
2 years ago	RobinJ	5	The only music player/organizer that has never yet failed me!
2 years ago	mm-iv	4	немного непривычен после winamp, но работает;)
2 years ago	fobenavi	1	Es un reproductor muy simple.
2 years ago	dhoca73	4	Works fine. Amarok don't work for me (I suppose cause I use Gnome)
2 years ago	Shostako	2	There are several music players better than this, in my opinion.
2 years ago	Poweradmin	4	Nice music maneger like iTunes
2 years ago	ted1735	4	great and seemless plugandplay
2 years ago	Sol_Badguy	4	Good and simple :)
2 years ago	tanjiasong	3	keeps crashing
2 years ago	drum	2	Audacious is great much better than rhytmbox
2 years ago	wanda	2	Nicht mehr mein gesmack na das ich Audacious entdeckt hab.
2 years ago	marcabishop	5	The best!
2 years ago	mcduarte2000	3	Its ok, but Banshee is much better.
2 years ago	anandkumar44	5	It is the best music player for linux mint I am just loving it
2 years ago	Jac978	4	Very good music player and well integrated into the system
2 years ago	peileppe	5	nice and easy (come preinstalled)
2 years ago	H4x0r18	5	I like this more than iTunes! It works for every mp3 player device I've plugged in and it organizes music playlists and even radio stations! Best ever.
2 years ago	A-reg	5	Desde que le instalé el EQ no lo cambio, tiene un excelente sonido
2 years ago	jessie0514	5	Nice music player.
2 years ago	Deadite81	3	Pretty good music player, I use it often. It lacks a file browser, which is a huge downfall. It can be testy with file types that other players read easily even though they're always saying things like "It uses the same backend" and whatnot. Just be sure to install Clementine or Deadbeef for an easy access player for files you don't want in your "library", like audio books.
2 years ago	zubatac	3	no sync device
2 years ago	tamoghna4	2	Try Amarok guys, you'll forget everything!
2 years ago	Xendon	3	A good Player but to slow and sometimes confusing.
2 years ago	jesica	3	very easy to use
2 years ago	dazw2000	4	Simple to use,great visuals,and some top radio stations built in.
2 years ago	speedfire	3	Gere bien les medias, et ouvre les peripheriques amovible (ce qui ne fonctionne pas totallement), aucun settings de son (equaliseur, DSP, stereo 3D, true bass...). Trop Old school a mon gout.
2 years ago	Said	3	Works perfectly on my PC but keeps crashing on my (new) netbook...
2 years ago	anguyita	4	pero la visualizacion solo funciona una en las demas cuando cambias se cuelga
2 years ago	ozos	4	Good and simple, my default music player
2 years ago	joe1	2	doesn't save song info easily and I'm not able to rip cdees without it hogging all my system resources
2 years ago	shwany	5	my all time favourite, well neck and neck with vlc
2 years ago	adirusf	4	Its a great player sometimes have some issue when i change the music a cracking sound in spite of that is fast simple
2 years ago	aibo	3	Works, but never seems to work quite right. Still looking for a decent clean, simple, functional linux music player.
2 years ago	Mr. B	5	Rhythmbox has alsways been my Nr.1 since i stepped into the world of Linux. I tried a lot media/musicplayers but this one is really the best for me.
2 years ago	jrunnels	5	works great, but not with my iPhone 4...
2 years ago	Squirrel	5	It opens more formats than competing programs, and has the same features. RythmBox wraps all of this in a delightfully simple interface, and small system footprint.
2 years ago	yochiwarez	2	yo les recomiendo..clementine , es aun mas simple
2 years ago	mocito_feliz	5	YEAH¡¡¡¡
2 years ago	Zethy	5	So far this is one of the best music players I've encountered. This is a good choise if you need fast music search and immediate detection of new music in your library.
2 years ago	incogita	4	Very fast, very simple, and with plenty of features and plugins. The last.fm access is a wonderful feature, allowing you to discover new music for free. Works well with the iPod, and is frankly better than iTunes. Also supports access to music stores.
2 years ago	brianji03	5	Works great with libimobiledevice. I thought I would never be able to use my iDevice with linux. Rhythmbox is very fast and simple. Much better than iTunes for windows.
2 years ago	ivanovnegro	2	Not bad but buggy on my machine and too slow for large music libraries.
2 years ago	Dejmon	5	Není co dodat, velice dobrý!
2 years ago	mtnbiker72	2	Not good...unreliable cd ripping, spotty music transfers to my Sansa, and it crashes. Terrible choice for the default player on Linux Mint
2 years ago	alexnat	2	fades to black often.
2 years ago	zalesthebard	4	basically itunes
2 years ago	robertofmj	4	Very simple, and easy to use. Need more stability to hash mp3 libraries over 200 gigabites.
2 years ago	dme3ha	5	works out of the box (of Isadora), detected my iPod, usefull for audio podcast, last.fm..works great
2 years ago	Twiguard	5	I thing I tried all the audio players out there but this is the winner.
2 years ago	aneurysm1985	3	Reviewing version 0.12.8: I have spent a lot of time trying to find a music player that does everything I want - similar to Winamp on the PC. The one unforgivable thing that I don't like about Rhythmbox is the way that songs are automatically deleted from the play queue. This is an easily fixed problem that should be rectified, as I like to set up temporary playlists and revisit them multiple times before eventually clearing tracks from the playlist. The back end of Rhyhmbox seems OK, but this feature is the deal-breaker for me. A skinnable interface would also be welcome, as the current 'block' appearance is quite unappealing to me. I'm using Exaile instead.
2 years ago	frubba	4	Pretty straight forward music player. Did exactly what I expected it to do.
2 years ago	mikefreeman	4	Decent iTunes alternative, especially with the Ubuntu store plugin added in.
2 years ago	SeanBest	4	Nice simple easy to use music player. Like a few others, but use this as my default.
2 years ago	rainserpent	4	It has its bugs, but I am slowly warming up to it.
2 years ago	begrebela	4	Finds new music automatically and the layout is clear. Sometimes it shows the wrong title.
2 years ago	crom	2	I had problems with this one and find it a little confusing. My choice is Exaile.
2 years ago	RandyNose	4	I like it. It's useable, but it's not WinAmp or the pre KDE 4 Amarok that I knew and loved. BUT the Built in support for Sharing the Music on the network is great, and I'm able to share Music Libraries with all the households computers. Brilliant! Enjoy the Streaming from the internet Radio Stations as well. (Could use a better list, tho'). All in All, a Really GOOD program.
2 years ago	kneekoo	4	I like it, but as an old Winamp user I'm still looking for an application similar to the old XMMS. I'm more into lighter user interfaces that just play my stuff and sit tightly in the system tray while I enjoy my work. Rhythmbox is not light at all but at least it's good.
2 years ago	rappelkiste_src	4	Einfacher Musikplayer, umfangreich erweiterbar duch Plugins.
2 years ago	skretzchy	5	good music player, use it for my samsung mp3-player and mobilephone
2 years ago	spayk	4	A bit basic, but still a nice and easy to use music player.
2 years ago	farnaby	3	No bad software, but has some flaws. I prefer banshee.
2 years ago	jiminikiz	4	I wish this player had the following built-in: EQ, proper crossfade, global hotkeys. Otherwise, one of the best Gnome media players.
3 years ago	robertochile87	3	buenos plugins
3 years ago	darkprof	2	This program does not work with the Russian character sets (though as if the properties of dwarf - audio press in the name of any nonsense)
3 years ago	caje	3	Could be better, I prefer Exaile.
3 years ago	MintHat	5	Love this program, I use it for all my music.
3 years ago	kunk	4	Nicely organizes one's music library.
3 years ago	Teucca	4	basic player
3 years ago	Mdyter	5	Rhythmbox is one of my favorite music players. update it to last version (avaible from ppa) and enjoy
3 years ago	ddalley	4	I use this mainly for listening to free Internet Radio stations. It is one of the two such programs that I'be been able to use for this. My music remains unorganised...
3 years ago	conquerortim	5	Excellent program for music organisation and playing. Could be slightly lighter weight, otherwise perfect.
3 years ago	mmesantos1	5	Features are exactly what I need, does the job very well. Best music player I have used in linux so far.
