Milestone Ex Falso & Quod Libet 0.24

by 1 other
Quod Libet 是类似 iTunes 风格的音乐播放及管理软件,内置强大的 Tag 编辑功能,具有丰富的插件。 新的 0.24 版在今天发布,主要提供了以下特性: iPod 和 UMS 支持; 从播放队列中删除歌曲; 更好的兼容于 Python 2.5 和 GTK+ 2.10; 修正了 MP4 文件的重命名问题; 新增或更新了一些翻译等等。

不错的音乐播放及管理软件——Banshee

http://linuxtoy.org/archives/banshee.html 不得不承认,Banshee 是一款优秀的音乐播放和管理软件。它主要依托三大功能:   一、播放   Banshee 基于 gstreamer 库开发,原则上只要我们安装了相应的 gstreamer 插件,就可以使用它播放常见的 mp3、wma、ogg 等格式。就音质来说,我觉得也是相当的不错,与一般的播放软件不相上下。   二、管理   当我们的硬盘中音乐文件愈加增多的时候,管理成了一个巨大的问题。不过,有 Banshee 在此,大可放心。Banshee 在音乐管理方面的功能至为强大。比如,它也有时下流行的音乐库,在里面可以对音乐文件进行极为方便的管理,像排列顺序、评分、编辑元数据、制作播放列表等等,不一而足。   三、分享   遇到好听的音乐,难道你只限于独自享用么?不是的,在分享中我们可以彼此传递着相互间的快乐。使用 Banshee,你不仅可以从朋友的 CD 中提取出音乐将之保留到自己的硬盘上,而且更可以将你自己喜欢的音乐烧录成音乐 CD 发放到朋友手中。   不仅如此,Banshee 还有一些贴心的设计,深合我意,且富于情趣。像它可以自动到网上去搜索音乐专辑的封面然后显示出来,在任务栏提示播放的歌曲名称等等。另外,Banshee 同样支持插件,相信能够进一步地扩展其功能。

Songbird:开源的iTunes

其实,我在老早以前就关注过 Songbird,记得当时在 Windows 中试用时,时不时地崩溃,感觉极为不稳定。到最近,Songbird 的新版本 0.2 RC1 放出,我在 Linux 中使用时感觉已经比较稳定了。又碰巧本站的读者血色眼泪也向我推荐它,所以我打算花些篇幅来作些介绍。 要定位 Songbird 似乎有些为难?说它是浏览器吧,可它又不单单是浏览器,它还可以充当播放器的角色;说它是播放器吧,好像也不能一锤定音,因为它能够完成 Web 浏览的任务。亦或从 Songbird 自身来讲,它已经在媒体播放和网络浏览之间找到了一个恰当的平衡点。这就是 Songbird 显得与众不同的地方,这原本就是 Songbird 的特色。其实很明显,Songbird 更多的将倾斜到媒体播放上,这一点是毫无疑问的。 Songbird 建构在 XUL 框架之上,这点与 Firefox 类似,能够在 Windows、Mac OS X、Linux 之上运行。本身也支持扩展和肌肤化,这使 Songbird 具有很好的开放性和延展性。 从媒体播放方面来说,Songbird 不仅可以播放本地电脑中的音乐文件,而且能够播放 Web 上的音乐。这使得 Songbird 扮演了一个相当好的网络娱乐平台的角色。用户可以一边浏览网页,一边惬意的听着音乐,那种感觉,那种滋味,也许只有使用过后才能体会。更加好玩的地方还在于,如果 Songbird 浏览到含有音乐的网页,则会自动生成播放列表,那些文件也是可放可下。当前,Songbird 支持播放 MP3、AAC、OGG、FLAC、WMA 等常见格式的音乐文件。 Songbird 所具有的库功能可以对音乐进行分门别类地管理,如专辑、歌手等。对于歌曲信息同样可以编辑。与其他多数音乐播放器一样,在 Songbird 中可以建立播放列表,而不同的是,Songbird 会自动生成 Web 播放列表。Songbird 能够对浏览网页时所探查出的音乐文件进行下载管理,有一个专门的下载列表可用。 当前,Songbird 还集成了大量的音乐网站书签、存贮、服务和搜索引擎,这些都有助于用户快速而方便地加以使用。
