Quod Libet is awesome. I’m learning python by tearing apart Mutagen at the moment, and it handles my entire library without a fuss.

It was the brilliant tag editing with flac support that did it for me. I’ve been moving my music library to lossless as much as I am able, and editing by hand is ludicrous.

I switch browser views by whatever’s convenient or what my mood takes me; I love this feature, because it doesn’t assume what kind of set-up you prefer.

Excellent, excellent program. Try it.

When you’re a control freak and a perfectionist like me, and you have a huge music library, then you can appreciate having a powerful music library application to manage your music collection.

I can understand that for most people who tried this kind of music player with powerful library management features came from using very simple MP3 players like Winamp and XMMS, they will think that “more features == bloat” because they can’t (yet) appreciate the features. I’m speaking from experience, actually. I was one of them once.

For a newbie Ubuntu’s user, i.e: me, XMMS seems suffice enough (I love the “J” shortcut).

I used to love to edit the ID3V2 tag but not anymore.
I used to have about 40GBs of MP3s but not anymore.

All MP3s are moved into a new box, and my friend who own the box is prolific in editing ID3V2 tag using Windows Media Player.

I just use him, reap, and benefits :D

I’m not a big fan of RhytmBox, though. It gives me a feeling about “bloating application”. So maybe, in my spare time sometime soon, I will give Quod Libet a shoot.

In the meantime, if you don’t mind, I add this page into my Wiki. Well, as a remainder for me :)
