aqualung - gapless music player

Unfortunately this was removed from sid, but it's still in active development.

http://aqualung.factorial.hu/

Aqualung is a GTK2 music player. Features include a XML database with automatic tagging, gapless playback, mixers and a cd ripper. It's well suited to huge audio collections, and has excellent documentation.

In short, a foobar2k equivalent in Linux.

Orphaned, libav shenenigans and "plenty of alternatives".

Typical Debian BS, but Marillat would probably include it when asked.

^ Ah, the libav shit, one of the crappy moves of Debian. That is the reason why I still use and like what Marillat does.
