So general summary of the discussion is apart from
Amarok the options
for attractive and functional audio players are minimal. I really
hoped there was an app out there that did everything i want.
audio players is probably a more crowded category than just about everything except text
editors. in the audio space im sure its even more crowded than 2-channel wave editors..
surprising you can't find something that meets your needs
maybe time to make your entry into the audio player space?
Does anyone know of an app that uses and album cover view as more
central feature? Lots of apps seem focused to non-album listening.
have you tried foobar2000 in wine? i like to use that w/ a nicce huge LP-sized album cover
panel..when im not running mplayer, which is 98% of the time
