Exaile is a music manager and player for GTK+ written in Python, quite similar to Amarok. It incorporates automatic fetching of album art, handling of large libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via Wikipedia, Last.fm submission support, and optional iPod support via a plugin.
In addition, Exaile also includes a built-in SHOUTcast directory browser, tabbed playlists (so you can have more than one playlist open at a time), blacklisting of tracks (so they don't get scanned into your library) and more.
New in version 0.3.0a2:
* the queue manager is back, with a shiny new interface.
* a new ratings widget lets you set ratings just by clicking on the star in the rating playlist column.
* dynamic mode now keeps a fixed-size buffer of 5 songs, so you can skip songs you dislike without running out of playlist.
* a new Device Manager which will form the core of our device system for 0.3.0. Currently only supports connecting to and playing music from usb mass storage devices autodetected by HAL.
* many new plugins, and updates to old ones
* LOTS of bugfixes
If you wish to install it (the .deb package didn't work for me), simply run this in a terminal:
