(Screenshot of Exaile 0.3.0a3)
Exaile is a music manager and player for GTK+ written in Python. It incorporates automatic fetching of album art, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via Wikipedia, Last.fm scrobbling, support for many portable media players including iPods, internet radio such as shoutcast, and tabbed playlists. It is kind of a Gnome Amarok (If I may call it that...).
Exaile 0.3.0 is a complete rewrite of Exaile from the ground up, and should make development of future versions much easier. A quick overview of what’s new in comparison to 0.2.14:
