Dear all: is anyone aware of an MP3 player for Ubuntu which will play
MP3 audio files directly from Ubuntu's own files, without the necessity
of compiling its own library first? Since Ubuntu's own files and folders
catalogs are self-updating, as are those of Windows Explorer, this would
save the need to update the audio player's own library (as is well known
this is tedious with either Rhythmbox or Banshee). To illustrate what I
mean, I can cite the relationship between Winamp and Windows, which is
so harmonious that after installing Winamp on a Windows machine, you do
not need to compile an audio library within Winamp to use it to listen
to your audio files: if you open Windows Explorer's folders for your
audio files, and right-click on a selected album or track, you will see
'play in Winamp' among the options in the drop-down list, and it will
e.g. play an entire album if you selected the sub-folder for that
album, even when Winamp's own library has not been populated at all.
