Anchor(framework)

A Word About Multimedia Frameworks

Ubuntu offers a wide range of multimedia applications through its Main, Universe, and Multiverse repositories. To help you choose the most suitable music player or video editor, it is useful to differentiate between the media players themselves (or 'front-ends') and the playback engines (the 'back-ends') they use.

The front-ends are the applications that you interact with on your desktop. Some are tightly integrated with the two desktop environments, GNOME and KDE; others are platform-independent. Whilst some applications, such as Mplayer and XMMS, use their own playback engines, others make use of the two main back-ends which are the gstreamer and xine frameworks. Some players support both the gstreamer and xine back-ends.

Your choice will thus depend on the right combination of features, performance, choice of media formats, your preferred desktop environment, and personal preference.

This page describes the most popular front-ends: media players, music and video editors, podcast and streaming applications. For more information on gstreamer, xine and the (free and non-free) media formats they support, see the RestrictedFormats wiki page.



Default Applications


The following applications are installed by default in a standard desktop install of Ubuntu.


Anchor(totem)

Totem

'Totem is the official movie player of the GNOME desktop environment. It is also Ubuntu's default video player. Totem plays any xine or gstreamer-supported file (see the RestrictedFormats wiki page for gstreamer/xine setup and configuration). It can also be used to play DVDs (with menus and subtitles) and VCDs, SMIL, shoutcast, m3u and Real'Audio playlists. It features a video thumbnailer, full-screen mode, Xinerama support, a playlist with repeat and shuffle modes, seek and volume controls, 5.1 surround stereo and TV-Out resolution switching. Totem supports either the gstreamer or totem-xine xine back-ends. For more information, visit the Totem web site.

Anchor(rhythmbox)

Rhythmbox

'Rhythmbox is the default music player in Ubuntu. It is very easy to use, yet able to meet most needs. Rhythmbox has a simple user interface inspired by Apple's iTunes: a browser window with a music library and playlists on the left and a searchable track list sorted by album, genre, artist etc. on the right. Users can browse the library and playlists based on artist, album and track name simultaneously. Rhythmbox plays podcasts and streams, integrates with the i'Pod and rips audio CDs with the help of soundjuicer SoundJuicer. Rhythmbox uses the gstreamer framework. For more information, visit the Rhythmbox Website.

Anchor(cowbell)

Cowbell Music Organizer

Cowbell is an elegant, album-based, music organizer. It supports many audio formats including ogg/FLAC, mp3 and MusePack. Cowbell is tightly integrated with Amazon, using its free SOAP service. Cowbell employs this service not only to fetch album cover images, as most tag editors do, but also in combination with intelligent algorithms to "guess" the appropriate song information from song titles. It can also cache these cover images in the same directory where that album resides. For more information, visit the Cowbell web site.




Anchor(beep)

XMMS

XMMS is the X Multi Media System, and was created to resemble Winamp (it even used to be called X11amp!). Although development of XMMS has stagnated in favour of Beep Media Player it is a mature, stable application which has many plugins and skins available (it can even use skins designed for Winamp). It uses it's own playback engine, so you will need to download plugins specifically for XMMS for each format you want to use like MP3, FLAC, MOD, etc. More information can be found on UbuntuHelp:XMMS.

Beep Media Player

Beep Media Player (BMP) is a fork of XMMS so it also has an interface very similar to Winamp's. If you like Winamp, you're likely to enjoy this player. The Ubuntu package includes a lot of skins that can be used to change the appearance of the player.

attachment:IconsPage/apt.png Detailed installation instructions can be found on the Beep Media Player wiki page.


attachment:IconsPage/info.png BMP is currently being rewritten from scratch. See Beep Media Player's home page and the new project page for details.

With the help of an additional software package called streamripper, you can record your streams or live broadcasts and save them to your hard drive so you can listen to them at a later time. For more information, visit the Streamtuner web page.

Listen

Listen is a music player for designed for GNOME. Don't let its slogan Just Listen fool you, since it integrates many features like a library, iPod support, Wikipedia (for artist, album and track), lyrics, last.fm support, podcasts, album covers, an integrated ID3 tag editor and more! It uses the Gstreamer framework (but currently only adds files ending in ".mp3" and ".ogg", maybe ".flac"? I haven't tested, to the library and disregards any other format that Gstreamer supports, or any file whose name does not end in those characters).

It's unique interface seperates the playlist from the library, lyrics, etc. making it always accessible, and it dynamically updates based on recommendations from last.fm. However, this does mean that it's playlist quickly runs out when it is used offline. Listen isn't in Ubuntu, so you can find out more from the Listen website.

Exaile

Exaile tries to bring the power of Amarok to the GNOME desktop (although Amarok will happily work in GNOME, remember). It is currently not as mature as Amarok, but shows great potential. To find out more you can visit the Exaile website.

''Note: Flash Player 9 is provided by the <code>flashplugin-nonfree</code> package in Ubuntu 7.04, as well as backports for Ubuntu 6.06 & 6.10.''

== Flash Player 9 plugin installation ==

Adobe has been working on the successor to the flash player v7 for Linux for some time and have released a new version which improves on a lot of the issues present in v7 (such as being able to play video WITH synced audio). 

Restart Firefox and to confirm the new flash plugin is being used enter <code> about:plugins </code> in the address bar.
