Play music and movies

On Xubuntu, you use the Movie Player to play both music and videos. To start it, choose ApplicationsMultimediaMovie Player.

The Movie Player supports standard audio formats and AudioCDs. It has many useful features, some of which are turned off by default. For example, it has a plugin for an infrared remote control. To access these optional features, press EditPlugins... and select the features which you would like to use by ticking them. It can even play internet radio stations! For those, choose FileOpen Location and enter the radio stations URL.

Outras aplicacions de música

There are much fancier music player/organizer applications available for Xubuntu, each with their own set of features. Most of these, however, have dependencies to large library files, so keep away from these if your machine is slow and/or short on diskspace/memory. Below is a list of the most popular ones:

  • Exaile!

  • Rhythmbox Media Player

  • Amarok

  • Reprodutor de música Banshee

  • Audacious

  • Reprodutor de música Muine
