I'm not crazy about Rhythmbox but it works OK. I tried Songbird a couple of years ago, it was fast but very buggy - if it's better now, I'll give it another go. I used to use gmusicbrowser a couple of years ago because I have a huge music library and everything else was hopelessly slow ( I set up Amarok with a mysql back end once but it was still not great). But Banshee is pretty nifty these days and since gmusicbrowser's interface is clunky and annoying I've switched back to Banshee. Paula </body> </html>
