Amarok sure inspires a lot of KDE-envy for Gnome users. Unfortunately, it doesn't fit in well in Gnome: it's written for a different desktop environment, uses a whole different toolkit, and requires a lot of extra libraries to run. Luckily, there's a great Gnome-based alternative: Rhythmbox.

According to the home page,

Rhythmbox is an integrated music management application, originally inspired by Apple's iTunes. It is free software, designed to work well under the GNOME Desktop, and based on the powerful GStreamer media framework.

Way back in the medieval ages of programming (2001), Bastien Nocera created the first release of Rhythmbox. The first release began to attract notice, which was helped by the fact that Apple had just released the first version of iTunes. Soon, Rhythmbox became a big enough project to be hosted on Gnome.org, where it moved to in 2003. By then, Jorn Baayen had taken over development. He re-wrote everything and brought it closer to the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principles that Gnome is so famous for. Rhythmbox was then almost forked by Colin Walters, a Gnome programmer who disagreed with Baayen on the principle of adding internet radio. Baayen refused to accept Walters' patch, so Walters began a branch called netRhythmbox. Luckily, neither Walters or Baayen really wanted to fork, so the Baayen relented and the two merged projects. Ironically, Baayen then decided to retire from Rhythmbox and turned the leadership over to Walters.

Rhythmbox comes installed by default in Ubuntu, under the Sound and Video menu. If you use Kubuntu or Xubuntu, you'll need to install it using the command sudo apt-get install rhythmbox.

When you open Rhythmbox, you'll be presented with a simple, easy-to-use wizard that will set up Rhythmbox for you. After it has done that, Rhythmbox will launch with the Music tab open. All of your songs, with all of their ID3 tags intact, are displayed. You can also easily filter the list of songs by clicking on the Artist or Album in the above panel.

Managing and playing music (duh)

When you first try to play a non-free codec (e.g. MP3), Rhythmbox cleverly asks you if you wish to install GStreamer Ugly or GStreamer ffmpeg. After checking the appropriate codecs, Synaptic pops up and installs the software automatically. Slight problem: the Ugly codec gave the same error message. Apparently, I also had to install the Bad codecs, which didn't happen out of the box. But after I installed that, almost every unprotected codec worked. Theoretically, you should also be able to install El-Tunes (http://www.el-tunes.com/) for iTunes Music Store playback, but that's a whole different story that I won't touch on here.

Rhythmbox's interface should be very familiar to anyone who has ever used Apple's iTunes. In fact, according to Wikipedia, Rhythmbox was inspired by iTunes. But even if you haven't used iTunes before, Rhythmbox is very easy to use. You have two options for playing songs: the iTunes-style Library, or the XMMS-style play queue. With the iTunes style, you just double-click on a song in the Music tab and the song starts playing. After the song is done, Rhythmbox goes to the next song. In XMMS-style, you drag all the songs into a Play Queue playlist, which is then played. It's a nice feature if you want to listen to the hard rock Dragonforce followed by some mellow David Mallett.

Playlists are another great way to manage music in Rhythmbox. To make a new playlist, click Music → Playlist → New Playlist. Then, drag the music you want into the playlist. You can also create an automatic playlist based on ID3 tags. Click Music → Playlist → New Automatic Playlist, configure your criteria, and accept it. Your playlist will automatically update; so, if you create an automatic playlist with only five star ratings, all five star songs are automatically added to the playlist.

If you like podcasts, Rhythmbox is a great client. Just hit Music → Add Podcast Feed, paste the podcast URL, then go over to the Podcasts tab. All of your podcasts are listed here. To play one, add it to the queue or double click it.

Transferring to media devices

Rhythmbox supports iPods, MTP players, and USB mass storage devices. The first two aren't available by default, but can easily be turned on by going to Edit → Plugins and checking the appropriate boxes. After that, the media player should show up in the sidebar under the Devices tab. You can play music off of, transfer, and delete music off of the media device.

Buying music

You have two options for getting new music from the internet: Magnatune and Jamendo. After enabling the respective plugins, both are available under the Stores tab in the sidebar. Magnatune is a very unusual online music store, in that all of its music is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike License and the price per album is determined by the buyer (between $5-$18). You can purchase the music in OGG, FLAC, WAV, MP3, or CD format using the handy toolbar buttons (or by right-clicking a song and clicking Purchase Album). My only gripe is that you can't buy a specific track, only an album.

Jamendo isn't really a store, but an online music sharing site for independent artists who don't need to make money. Unfortunately, it's a little bit of a mess. On the one hand, all the music is 100% free (CC licensed, as with Magnatune). On the other hand, anyone can upload and tag their music. Because of this, you have multiple genres (Contemporary Classical, Classique, classique, Classical piano, Classical Piano with a capital 'P', Classical, classical, and classica, rather than just 'Classical') and improperly formatted ID3 tags. But still, it's free. There's a lot of good music on Jamendo, if you don't mind sifting through some of the junk. And if you like an artist a lot, Rhythmbox provides an easy way to donate to him or her.

Listening to radio

Support for radio in Rhythmbox comes in the form of two plugins: FM Radio and Last.fm. FM Radio, as you may have guessed, plays FM radio broadcasts using a USB radio tuner. You can also listen to internet radio streams by clicking Music → New Internet Radio Station. Good places to find streams include the Google Directory, Shoutcast, Live365, xiph.org, StreamingRadioGuide, basic.ch, and punkcast.com. Chances are, your favorite local radio station also has an internet stream. For this, Google is your best friend.

If you prefer another type of radio, try Last.fm. After enabling it and configuring it with your username and password, a Last.fm tab will appear in the sidebar. Click on it, and then begin adding radio stations. There are several types of radio stations that you can add. The first is Similar Artists radio. Type in an artist's name and hit Add. The artist and all of the artist's similar songs will begin to play. There's also the tag radio, which lets you play songs based on their Last.fm tags, Artist fan radio, which lets you play songs that fans of the artist you typed in are listening to, and Group radio, which plays songs that people in the group you selected are listening to.

DAAP streams

If your family or roomates use DAAP (the iTunes sharing protocol), you'll be happy to know that Rhythmbox can connect to a DAAP share. Unfortunately, it won't do the finding for you. First, you'll need the local network IP address, usually 192.168.x.xxx. You'll also need the port, which is usually 3689. Now that you have all that information, connect to the server using Music → Connect to DAAP share. Now, all the songs in the DAAP share should be accessible in the sidebar under the Shared tab.

Often, Rhythmbox gives GStreamer errors when connecting to Last.fm stations. I'm not really sure if it's Last.fm, GStreamer, or Rhythmbox's fault, but it happens almost every time. I haven't found a solution yet, but there's a quick hotfix in the meantime: just keep on playing the station until GStreamer decides to start working.

There's another problem: Rhythmbox isn't the greatest with portable media players like the iPod. You can't transfer playlists, and podcasts are very clunky to manage. And all-in-all, it's pretty obvious that Rhythmbox was not meant to be a portable media player manager. Still, that does bring up a valid point: Rhythmbox was not meant to be a portable media player manager.

Rhythm Player Free

Rhythmbox is the closest to pinnacle of music player perfection that you're likely to see for a while. Its got the perfect blend of ease-of-use for basic users and power for advanced users. There's a reason it's the default music player in Ubuntu.
