As said elsewhere: unusable ! Drag'n'drop doesn't work; I spent many minutes to figure out how to create a playlist - complete failure. Such a basic feature needs to work smoothly and intuitively. Tools menu is empty. So what ? Very messy and confusing.
it's crap, does not recognize half my CDs, but than again most other players also struggle
I can't believe they are shipping this OS with such a mess of an audio app. First, the app is black hole of music, it doesn't let you work with your playlists; it doesn't have a folder view; compilations are a complete mess here because the app only works with tags; if you add music you lose control of it; it doesn't have options that are somewhat usable; there is a "tools" menu that is empty and just says "tools" again; it steals your media keys and as said there are no options to change it; the interface is confusing, dragging and dropping doesn't work properly or there is a very whimsy way of making it work (you should drag your folders to a specific part of the ui?). This app is a shame.
It is a mess of all kind of audio files and I specifically hate the autoplay that cannot be disabled.
It's okay, it mostly functions. However, it it impossible to actually CLOSE it. If you click the X, it will minimize, and the music will continue to play, and it's impossible to access the UI again without literally re-openning the app from the main menu. It makes it really annoying to use.
One of the best full-featured Music Player with a "detail play-list" style that has its own flavour: it's essential ~ straightforward ~ not relying on unnecessary spectacles. The theme integrated with the system (OS Theme -- so that it blends-in with the user's preferred desktop environment), rich add-on features, plus the plugin: rhythmbox-plugin-alternative-toolbar -- it's even more stylish and cleaner with its distinctive flavour (hopefully there are more cool ideas for enrichment in this ‘sector’ WITHOUT losing its distinctive touch and then becoming ‘mainstream’ ~ fat ~ slow ~ relying on unnecessary and essential spectacles). Creating different playlist combinations? Don't even know why that should be a question, it's so easy and flexible. Combined with a sound effects application that takes care of it for the whole system, such as: Easy Effects, is truly a pleasure in itself. Thanks to Dev and Team. <3
I have been testing a huge number of players, but in the end I always come back to rhythmbox. It is the one that best adapts to my needs compared to the rest. Underrated despite being the default.
Simple, powerful and easy to use. I love the way it organizes the library with albums and artists sections. It is very fast to search and filter. My recommendation is to add a feature to detect the file type (mp3, flac, ogg, opus, etc) and the bitrate of each song.
Horrible application. Really. Cumbersome to say the least, which is a shame. After all this time, to witness Rhythmbox devs just wasting their time on this project, might as well just END support for it. Even Amberol can be much more attractive, uncomplicated and SIMPLE TO USE than this piece of crap.
good program. smooth. only problem is it keeps playing the same songs in shuffle. got nearly 600 - 450 of them, never heard
Um player genial que permite ouvir radios, podcasts e músicas remotamente. Infelizmente ele possuí um bug que ocorre sempre que um chiptune (xm, mod, it) é tocado até o final, isso faz o programa crashar.
It is good but it is lacking of in-app mute function. In the long run it becomes annoying to go to slide volume up and down instead of just pressing volume on/off without hassling with volume levels. The name, i always misspell it
i dont know why this has all the bad reviews.. some people just dont appreciate things I guess.. very nice music player.. creating auto-playlists is way nicer than an ordinary playlists as it automatically adds your music to the playlists as your library changes over time (you get more music, etc.)
It is terrible, I cannot create playlists, always disappear. I uninstalled already.
I like this program a lot, only I'm a little bit of playlist freak. It's very difficult to create playlists. I have a lot of music, and i like to segregate stuff. Ex. in ordet to create a playlist You have to drop all the music into ALL and then search for tracks to segregate them. Which would take years for me;) Simpler would be If you could drop a folder onto the playlist area and a Playlist would create itself with the folder name which You could change.
It is not just any music player. I recently upgraded to Linux Mint 19.3. Since using linux when my mac stopped working I was unable to change the music on my iPod for years, without using a someone else's Windows machine which kind of defeats the point of having your own music. It still has a few bugs and I'm not clear how to report them. It's basic but thanks to this software I can add music and podcasts and enjoy time away from my computer! This is a considerable achievement I consider miraculous. I'm running an iPod shuffle 4 GB.
It doesn't totally suck. But shuffle play is non functional when playing a playlist. It also lacks necessary features such as equalization. That is why apps like AIMP rate five stars and this will never rate more than 2.
