XNOISE is a media player for Gtk+ with a slick GUI, great speed and lots of features.
Unlike Rhythmbox, Banshee or itunes, Xnoise uses a tracklist centric design. The tracklist is a list of video or music tracks that are played one by one without being removed (right side of window). This gives you the possibility to enqueue any track in any order, regardless if they are on the same album or not. The tracks can be reordered at any time via drag and drop.
The media browser (left side of the window) contains all available media in a hierarchical tree structure of the available metadata. It is easy to find a single track, artist or album by going through this tree or by just entering a search term. From the media browser, music or videos can be dragged into the tracklist to every position.
Single or multiple tracks, streams, albums or artists can be dragged onto the tracklist and be reordered. Within the playing track, it’s possible to jump to every position by clicking the position bar.
Xnoise can play every kind of audio/video data that gstreamer can handle.
There is a plugin interface available. Plugins are optionally build, if their dependencies are fulfilled. By now there are already some plugins, e.g. a plugin that downloads cover images from lastFm or one that shows notifications, one that monitores file changes in your local media directory, …
A local database (sqlite) is used for caching the metadata and media locations. Song tags are imported via taglib. That gives Xnoise a great speed.
If you hover the album image for a audio track, xnoise will show the image in big size in the video area
