audacious media player

[Dmitriy Kropivnitskiy]

I wholeheartedly agree. All the GNOME2 music players I can currently 
find in ubuntu are the "Let me build a music library" type. I have a 
huge music collection, and I never bothered to tag it. Somehow directory 
names and file names were always enough. But rhythmbox, banshee, amarok 
and others insist on indexing my music by tags. And when I have tags, 
all these players bail out when tags are in russian. All I want is to 
open nautilus, click on a music file and listen to it. XMMS is nice, but 
it is GTK1 based and takes some tinckering to make it look good (and it 
doesn't display UTF8 tags where I actually have them). Audacity is a 
good way to enjoy music in a simple intuitive way.
