It's true, and all it took was a benevolent billionaire.
 
Incidentally, EAC works seamlessly for me using WIne.

In terms of the big picture, I suppose it is, but I know that wizards are much more likely to use the more demanding and difficult and obscure MPD.
 
I ended up with R'box because it was the path of least resistance, which is contrary to the life serious Linux folks lead. I needed an OS for my six year old Dell laptop that would run better than XP does at this point and picked Ubuntu because, well, because it's *popular,* which I figured meant it would have more people beating out the bugs and more people to save me when I screw up.
 
R'box is included with Ubuntu. Here's the thing about Ubuntu - and I've written the same words in another post recently - it is so good now that you no longer need to struggle with Linux. That's a loss to the pure at heart, but good for ordinary humans. It's the first Linux you can use thoughtlessly.
 
I regret not having dbpoweramp suite and EAC at my beck n' call, but otherwise don't miss Windows for audio purposes.

Any experience with dbpoweramp in Wine?

Google seems to think that dbpoweramp works pretty well under wine, but I personally don't have any experience.  There are enough native apps that get the job done.

A billionaire and many years of work of the Debian community, Ubuntu has not been developed  from scratch.

 
I don't use wine and I think Rubyripper and morituri are good enough for CD ripping, and for people less strict with quality control, Asunder is fine.

Bump - 11 days left to vote.

 

[JAChichorro]

uLilith for serious listening and foobar for day to day use.

 

[SoulSyde]

That's one I haven't heard of before.

 

[whirlwind]

i am using jet audio....wondering if I should switch to foobar.
 
Is foobar better?

 

[Achmedisdead]

I voted Mediamonkey. I use it and also foobar, for various things, but the device management I do with MM, which Is why I voted that way. If multiple programs had been available, I would have gone for both MM and foobar.

Itunes with Pure Music, superb.

 

[moriez]

Voted other
 
- XMPlay for playback only. Super lightweight, ASIO/FLAC supported and plays 8-bit Amiga tunes flawlessly. I just browse to the folder containing the album and right-click to play.
- dBpoweramp for ripping/converting
- Mp3tag for tagging
- EphPod for synching

 

[Dynobot]

I too liked XMPlay for Windows, great little player.

 

[SoulSyde]

Poll expires today.

I guess if it was possible i would change my vote now that i have played a little with J River jukebox, if i am comparing it with Gomplayer from gomlab the J River has much less computernoise and it is more costumable, but it wont sync my 5th gen rockboxed ipod tough (i think it supports later ipods). So i guess its -1 on others and +1 on J River. Thanks for the recommandation SoulSyde.
