ich finde den decibel audio player sehr nett (ist in den ubuntu repositories) schön, schlank, Schnell, stabil und sehr gute Benchmarks (http://decibel.silent-blade.org/index.php?n=Main.Benchmark)
(http://decibel.silent-blade.org/uploads/Main/main-library.png)
Die "Eierlegende WollMilchsau" unter den Payern sind Amarok (kde) und Listen (gtk). Für große Sammlungen (10k+) empfehel ich Quod Libet.
Changelog
Major changes in this version:
A completely new Qt-based user interface, which can be installed alongside the existing GTK+ and Winamp Classic interfaces. The new interface is usable today but not yet as feature-rich as the existing interfaces. In future, it will be the basis of a Mac OS X port of Audacious—stay tuned.
We have switched back to using GTK+ version 2.x by default. It has now been over three years since the release of GTK+ 3.0, and yet the “legacy” version of the toolkit provides more features relevant to Audacious, better cross-platform support, a more stable API, and lower memory usage. Audacious can still be built with GTK3 if desired, but we recommend the GTK2 variant for any desktop environment other than GNOME 3.
The source code has been converted from C99 to C++11. In addition to making the Qt port easier, the use of C++11 is already allowing more rapid development by letting the compiler work out many details that previously had to be written by hand. The plugin API has also been changed to C++. Contact us if you have a plugin for Audacious that you want help updating.
Requested features added (or brought back):
Double-size scaling of Winamp skins (#41)
Searching by genre in the search tool plugin (#158)
The playlist manager can be docked in the GTK+ interface (#160)
Crossfading on seek and manual song change (#213)
Support for “album artist” in song tags (#238)
Search results are filtered by number of songs in the search tool plugin (#396)
Cue files are automatically added to playlists and to the library (#430)
Song lengths read from ID3 tags are sanity-checked (#441)
Adjustable HTTP buffer size (#443)
Optional calculation of a more accurate song length estimate for MP3 files (#446)
Optional skipping of leading and trailing silence in MIDI files (#463)
Restored settings dialog for the SID plugin (#476)
Other new features and improvements:
Audacious can now be built as a headless music player “daemon” with no GTK+ dependency. It this configuration, it can be controlled using either audtool or your favorite MPRIS 2 client. Note that some plugins still require GTK+.
By default, playback now resumes in a paused state upon startup, so that you can press play to continue from where you left off. If desired, there is still an option to resume immediately in an audibly playing state.
It is now possible to sort a playlist by genre.
A new “Open Containing Folder” command has been added to the GTK+ interface.
Window positions of visualization plugins and of the search tool are now saved and restored at startup when the Winamp Classic interface is used. A new menu option and keyboard shortcut (Y) have also been added to activate the search tool.
There is a new effect plugin to remove leading and trailing silence in any song file. Enabling this effect is recommended if you’re using crossfade.
New controls have been added to the song information dialog to allow tagging entire albums without retyping the artist and album name for each song.
A new option has been added to probe content of files with no recognized filename extension. With this option enabled, files with no extension can be added to playlists and to the library automatically, and subtunes in those files will also be recognized. The extra probing does slow Audacious down, so enable the option only if needed.
Support for the SID song lengths database has been restored. Songlengths.txt should be installed in the same location as the C64 ROMs (generally /usr/share/sidplayfp/ on Linux).
The ALSA output plugin now checks for new devices when the settings dialog is opened, so it’s no longer necessary to restart Audacious after plugging in a USB audio device.
The JACK and sndio output plugins have been rewritten from scratch in order to fix a number of problems.
Two new plugins have been added for native audio output and multimedia keyboard support on Mac OS X.
The generic and unhelpful “No decoder found” message has been replaced with somewhat more specific error reporting; for example, “No such file or directory.”

Bugs fixed since Audacious 3.5.2
MP4 decoding now uses FFmpeg instead of the deprecated libmp4ff (#425)
Menus appear on the correct monitor under Windows (#450)
Better tolerance for various character encoding errors (#481)
Fixed an issue parsing ID3 text fields containing null characters (#498)
Fixed a crash triggered by character encoding errors (#504)
The user interface no longer freezes while the last song in the playlist fades out.
A-to-B repeat correctly repeats from the end of the song if only point A is set.
Fixed extreme CPU usage when copying and pasting thousands of playlist entries.
MP3 files without Replay Gain tags are no longer amplified by 1 dB.
Bugs fixed since 3.6-beta1
Desktop notifications no longer show album art for the previous song (#507)
Fixed a crash when opening the ALSA settings window.
"About" and "Settings" for the audio CD plugin are no longer disabled.
Fixed an issue where album art could not be read from some ID3v2.3 tags.
Known issues
Some text is always displayed in English in the Qt interface (#466)
The playlist editor in the Qt interface currently has rather limited capabilities (#484)
Other notes
GCC 4.6 and earlier are no longer able to compile Audacious due to their lack of support for C++11.
It is not possible to switch between GTK+ and Qt while Audacious is running. If you build with --enable-qt and not --disable-gtk, then you must run audacious --qt to get the Qt interface.
The --verbose (or -V) command-line option can now be used once or twice, for different levels of detail.

New features
Playlists can be shuffled by whole albums rather than single tracks.
Internet streams can be recorded while playing via a simple record button (GTK+ only).
The playlist export window displays supported formats in a drop-down list (GTK+ only).
A new, unified window has been added for managing equalizer presets (GTK+ only).
The user interface automatically adjusts to be more usable on high-resolution screens (GTK+ only).
An "Edit Lyrics" option has been added to the LyricWiki plugin, which opens the edit page for the current song.
Guessing of missing tag fields can be disabled (#513).
Decoding and playback of standard input is possible with e.g. echo file.mp3 | audacious -
Qt interface improvements
The Qt interface can be customized with several new appearance settings. Many other small fixes and improvements have been made, such as a visualizer in the info bar, to bring the interface closer to feature-parity with the GTK+ interface.
In addition, the following plugins have been ported to Qt:
Winamp Classic Interface
Playlist Manager
Search Tool
Status Icon
Bugs fixed since Audacious 3.6.2
Replay Gain information is read correctly from ID3v2.3 tags (#280).
"Open Containing Folder" works on Microsoft Windows (#540).
Internet streams no longer show a negative remaining time (#546).
With JACK output, monaural streams are played to both speakers (#549).
Older Winamp skins without eq_ex.bmp are loaded correctly (#555).
Absolute file paths using legacy character sets are loaded correctly from M3U playlists (#568).
Winamp skins with undersized bitmaps are displayed correctly (no more gray blocks).
Other changes
The latest version of libguess is included to allow character set detection on all systems.
In dual GTK and Qt builds, incompatible plugins are hidden to avoid confusion.
AdPlug has been updated to version 2.2.1 (#70). libbinio 1.4 is also included.
Most audtool commands now apply to the playlist which is playing, even if it is in the background (#557).
The crossfade effect handles songs of different sample rates more gracefully (no warning message). However, resampling is still recommended to avoid clicks between songs.

Changelog
NEW:
With this version, it is finally possible to run multiple instances of Audacious. Each instance will remember its own configuration. To start a new instance, run audacious -N. The second instance can be controlled with audtool -2 , the third with audtool -3 , and so on.
The new version has better support for Windows, with a new installer based on work by Carlo Bramini. Audio output on Windows now uses the native waveOut API, allowing higher bit depths, lower latency, and better integration with the system volume control.
New audtool commands have been added:
Enable/disable stream recording
Enable/disable any plugin: effects, visualizations, etc.
Cuesheet support is more seamless, with the following fixes:
More robust logic to prevent adding duplicate entries
Display artist correctly for cuesheets with only a single PERFORMER line
Add audio files normally if cuesheet support is disabled
Track lengths correctly account for pregap with libcue 2.0 or later
Róbert Čerňanský contributed a new plugin to browse music on an Ampache server. Most of the implementation resides in a separate support library, available here.
Other new features:
Folders can be added from various URI protocols (ftp, mtp, etc.) via GIO
Audio effects and equalization can optionally be applied to a stream recording
Option to display MMM:SS instead of H:MM:SS
Automatic selection of the best available output bit depth
Album artist support for FLAC and Vorbis files (read-write)
Support for the freedesktop.org startup notification protocol
Existing features ported to the Qt interface:
Context (right-click) menu in the playlist
Copy-and-paste of playlist entries
“Open Containing Folder” command
Desktop notifications and file deletion (with the appropriate plugins)
Access to the full set of FileWriter options
Bugs fixed since:
Silenced an error message at the end of some MP3 files
Fixed various problems seeking within a PSF file
Resolved build errors when cross-compiling
Fixed undefined behavior detected by -fsanitize=undefined compiler flag
Silenced a “no such property” warning with older GTK+ versions
Other notable changes:
Plugins from 3.7.x or earlier will need to be rebuilt for 3.8. Some plugins may require source code updates as well. In particular, input plugins are now required to provide a combined read_tag() function, rather than separate read_tuple() and read_image().
The ./configure script for audacious-plugins has been cleaned up, and is now better about reporting unmet plugin dependencies.

Changelog
With this version, it is finally possible to run multiple instances of Audacious (#635). Instances are numbered and can be started with audacious -2, audacious -3, and so on; once running, they can be controlled with audtool -2 <command>, audtool -3 <command>, and so on. Each instance remembers its own configuration.
Support for Windows has been improved:
There is a new installer using NSIS, based on work by Carlo Bramini (#342).
The user interface handles high-resolution displays better and no longer appears blurred due to scaling.
Audio output now uses the native waveOut API, allowing higher bit depths, lower latency, and better integration with the system volume control.

Release Notes
Well, here we are 10 months later, and Audacious 4.0 (with a fully feature-complete Qt UI) still isn't a reality. Never fear, we haven't been totally idle. With the usual smattering of new features and a longer-than-usual list of bug fixes, we are proud to present a beta of Audacious 3.10, code-named "Not Quite There Yet".
