First off Quod Libet relys on Gstreamer which automatically makes it a
heavier app Gmusicbrowser can either use gstreamer and its perl
bindings or mpg321/ogg123/flac123/amixer I use mpg321/ogg123/flac123.
I have used them both on a variety of machines and gmusicbrowser is a
lot lighter and faster and has just as many features if not more.
Including an excellent tag editor :) There are many layouts/interfaces.
Including a quod-libet like , iTunes like, and many many more. Just try
it. There is a deb on the site.
