Amarok? Have you tried that one?

discuss

In case you're being serious, Amarok is highly unstable, bloated ("unresponsive UI"/"high CPU"), is a great academic example of extremely bad usability, and doesn't even want to start trying to compete feature-wise with foobar.

Amarok has been horrible since they redesigned it for version 2/ kde 4. Amarok 1.4 was the best music player I've seen and, I believe, one of the inspirations for foobar2000

These days I just use mpd for playing music and icecast to stream it to wherever I want to listen to it.

Yes, I'm serious! Amarok works for me. I use it on Linux and on Windows. I do agree with unstable (but not "highly" unstable in my case). Unresponsive UI is something I encounter seldom.
