what's the best audio program linux?

[fabio88]

as from the title i require you....


I use audiomaster, but is not good for me..

[kari]

I use amarok

[hackhain]

Amarok is awesome for daily usage with its plug-ins! If you are looking professional record and/or remastering software like Cakewalk or Cubase. You should look specific distros in distrowatch.com or directly search in KDE or Gnome recent port tree...

[jmcturnan]

My favorite players are those that support OSS sound instead of PulseAudio. The sound quality improvement by switching to OSS is huge (15-20% improvement).

Waiting for Midi support to be implemented in Ardour, then I'll dive in!

Have you tried xmms? Good program and been around years. Resembles winamp.

[juetsing]

Yes, the xmms works like winamp, and can write bash as scripts for it as a plugin... use pipe of linux, a perfect way... to play music.

[iskrypelis]

+1 for amarok. Using it for 3 years. Just dont like the new version, so still using older one - seems more informative and handful.

[serafino]

+amarok
awesomeness returned with version 2.3

also use amarok or songbird

[schmitz]

amarok -the best.

[hrabe]

for editing and recording audacity...
for playback I use the amarok

[kourkoutas]

for playback i use amarok or rhythmbox.
for editing audacity

[inflatable_raft]

For editing of course audacity, but for playing - I don't know. I use amarok, but I don't like it really, as in my opinion the title database works somehow strange in regard to sorting etc. But I don't know a better one.

For playback of single tracks which are not mp3 I use vlc (yes, it's mainly for video) as vlc knows very much other codecs and I don't have to think about which player does play which codec.

[Furax]

i used to use xmms but changed over to audacious a while ago. Both are winamp type mp3 players.

If you are looking for an editing suite take a look at the apps in ubuntu studio

[pepar]

in my opinion is amarok the best prog for listening webradio...

[fivthy]

There's so many audio programs for linux so I'm gonna list a couple good ones:

Rhythmbox
Amarok
Exaile
Banshee
BMPx
Listen
XMMS
Quod Libet

You just have to try them out and then use the one that you feel most comfortable with.

I personally use Rhythmbox, it has all I need.

[julio_m]

For playback i use rhythmbox...
But after read this thread I am just curious: Has OSS better quality than Pulse Audio indeed?

[kerpox]

VideoLAN - VLC media player - Open Source Multimedia Framework and Player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/)

[zinahe]

If you care about memory footprint then use

MPD + Sonata

or else just go with

Amarok

Zinahe A.

[trippleface]

i would recommend either VLC Player or Banshee.
