I had a similar issue, though the reason I had for not liking |
| 12 |
audacious had more to do with it's atrocious memory usage. I |
| 13 |
eventually settled on MPD (music player daemon) coupled with Sonata. |
| 14 |
MPD requires a small amount of setup, but it's really nice and light. |
| 15 |
Sonata is a simple GTK client which seems pretty quick and light, but |
| 16 |
AFAIK doesn't do a couple of things which I don't really need (like EQ |
| 17 |
controls). |

Plus you can control MPD from a command line or script in a pinch |
| 20 |
using netcat, without even having the UI open. =) |
