Finally!
written over 13 years ago
In the tradition of Foobar2000, DeaDBeeF is a fast, lightweight player with an unobtrusive GUI. It boasts audiophile features found together in no other Linux player I know of: practically universal codec support, true gapless playback, Replaygain and proper cue sheet support.
DeaDBeeF's look, as evidenced by the screenshots on its website, is highly customizable -- although it is cumbersome to customize. I would appreciate a more cohesive theming system. That aside, the authors have culled the most powerful options of popular audio players into well written, finely organized menus. Everything I want is there, is called by a sensible name, and lives just where I expect it to.
Kudos to Alexey and his team. DeaDBeeF is a pleasure to use.
