This section describes how to import, organize and use music, video and photos with Xubuntu.
On Xubuntu, you use the Movie Player to play both music and videos. To start it, choose → → .
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 → and select the features which you would like to use by ticking them. It can even play internet radio stations! For those, choose → and enter the radio stations URL.
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
Banshee Music Player
Audacious
Muine Music Player
Sometimes, you may find that music files on your computer have incorrect or incomplete information about the artist or album which they are from. It is possible to correct this information using a suitable application.
Install the cowbell package from the “Universe” repository (see Chapter 11, Adding, Removing and Updating Applications);
