nominate gmusicbrowser for an Xubuntu Music Player

[Ronnie Whisler]

Did all of you check out all the user interfaces under the misc. tab in
settings. I'm simply asking because i believe there are about ten and
Quod Libet - like is one of them as well as iTunes - like.  And what
about speed is obviously faster and mpg321 ogg123 and flac123 handle
everything quod libet does plus you have the option of using gstreamer
if you want to.  So i thought it was more about speed and lightweight
Especially considering you can make it look like Quod Libet anyway
