Linux Media Player Roundup - Part 7 - Finale
Welcome to the last part of our Linux media player roundup. Today we'll be covering VLC, XMMS, Xfmedia, Xine and one more previously missed media player, the "Listen Media Player".
VLC
VLC is more or less the jack of all trades of media players. If it's playable, VLC can likely play it. At the very least, everything I threw at it played just fine with no complaints. Video playback was always smooth, including playing some rather large or oddly encoded files that would otherwise choke other players. It even played mal-formed ogg files that other players choked on, and did so without issue. But that doesn't mean that VLC is great for music files. I'd say that the level at which it's music playback and playlist system is currently would be sufficient for playing audio files if no other audio player were around. Especially since it's simple, yet unique playlist system begins to stumble once you cross a thousand files in the playlist.
