That's a link to an older version of DarkOne though. Version 3.0.1 has been out for quite a while!

And for tagging, I just use foobar. Sometimes I'll use a foobar I've set up as a tagger/mini player to do the job. There's a ton of tagging plugins out there, so I'm not so sure mp3tag is necessarily much faster. Besides, I like having control of the databases I use and that's easily achieved with foobar.

That's just nonsense man.

I wanted to throw in that I'm a MediaMonkey user (free version). I'm fairly happy, and I do believe it's one of the best ways. IMO, definitely better than itunes. I used to use winamp, loved it, but it glitched out on me. Mediamonkey is very reliable.

Foobar sounds cool, though! Maybe I'll take a look for fun...

I have stopped storing my digital files on my disputer, now they are on a NAS server, this means I don't have to turn my PC on to listen and the files are on 2 disks for security. I don't use my PC as primary music source as the hifi sounds so much better so I bought a squeezebox and stream wirelessly to that.

Buuuuuuuuuut, I used to use either Winamp or Mediamonkey, I use MM to rip CD to FLAC.

A NAS Server, that's basically like a hard disk accessible through the local network? If that's basically what it is, it sounds like a pretty sweet setup.

eww, MM for FLAC rips.

let me recommend EAC. far and away the best at this purpose.

it's a bit of a hassle to set up though.

I have itunes and quick time. Out of those two I'm perfectly fine with itunes. Most of my tunes are there and I could stare at the effect screen for hours when in the right mood :D

raust, if you can live with quicktime, you will survive anything man :D.

Does anyone know what's the best music player to use with Ubuntu? I'm currently using Rhythmbox with it but the sound seems to be a bit sharp and thin like with Windows Media Player. Also something a bit more customisable.

You're right in theory, but in practice, the battery life will be eaten away if you use it for tunes. I have an EVO and run into this issue. If I used it for tunes without it being hooked up to a power source, pretty soon I won't have any battery life left to, y'know, use the phone. :(
