[Bug 1008575] Re: change rythymbox by an other music player (more complet)

[Dave Lentz]

Marking invalid as a bug after discussing this report in #ubuntu-bugs.

Rhythmbox is used as the default player in Ubuntu because it uses
libraries (gtk) already included on the liveCD, integrates well with
Unity, and has a large user-base to test it. Discussion on the default
music player can be found here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives
/ubuntu-desktop/2011-November/thread.html

If you would like to re-open a discussion on default music player for
Ubuntu 12.10/Quantal, please start a topic on the ubuntu-desktop mailing
list. Thanks.

Title:
  change rythymbox by an other music player (more complet)

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Rhythmbox is a basical music player and don't have enougth futures to became the default installed music player for an OS that would be modern and popular.
  So why ubuntu don't use an other complet music player, there are a huge list of good music player that are complet as itunes in Mac X OS and WMP in Win.
  I don't think banshee is the solution (slow and with not enougth futures)
  i think the best solutions are clementine (but it use Qt lib) or Tomahawk (still in developement, but there are enougth time until v. 12.10 if ubuntu-team decide from now to integred to 12.10)
  why i chosed these 2 apps?, because ,first, they are full complet and ,second, in my 512Mo and x64 PC i found them more light then Rhythmbox.
  there are more others solutions some are so slow (like Amork wich i can't open it in my PC even in lubuntu session) and others that i hadn't enought time to take a good look at them (like songbird, miro,...)
  installing other music player is so easy, but for new ubuntu (linux) user, they will not search for a better music player, they will use in the begginig just the default installed one wich will be a part of their view point about ubuntu (linux) or to be more clear, it will be their first experience (so important) wich will help them to decide if to continue to use ubuntu or turn back to their first OS (win or mac).
  discovring an other music player (better music player after tring worse solution) can't be only after many weeks (so late).
