iTunes like software for Ububtu

Is there a Linux like software for Linux? In particular I'm looking for something with a browser like system where I can assign a picture to a file and have it show up when browsing my media files. Thanks for any help.

 

I am not sure what you mean but try Banshee.

 

Songbird? no?

 

i use songbird..
love it..
my fave even after trying banshee..amarok..rhythmbox..exaile..
here is the website
http://www.getsongbird.com/
it installs a bit different than the others..if u decide to use it let me know if u need any help!
the second choice would be Banshee.

Songbird is almost an iTunes clone, so you can try that.

 

do they work with ipods ?

 

Yes. The only problem is it seems to get confused ... it doesn't know if it is putting music or video in the iPod.

 

Does it work with the itouch too?

 

according to songbird..it doesn't work with the itouch..
they had a plugin..but its no longer supported..so it may or may not work..
but here's a list that may help u out-

Songbird is one of the best and works cross-platform, has coverflow and a TON of free Firefox-like plugins (in truth, it is built from Mozilla tech, in part). Sadly, it cannot sync with iTouch or iPhones because of how much of a jerk Apple decided to be with their databases. It will work with older iPod classics.

I can also suggest Banshee or Rhythmbox on Gnome. I think GtkPod (which these use) can interface with iTouch/iPhone on at least 2.0 if not 3.0 firmware. Amarok is a KDE program but is heralded as "the best" Linux-based media player in terms of features, by many. I think Rhythmbox is designed to be a "Gnome version" of Amarok.

 

yea..amarok is good...
but banshee might be your best bet as far as apple support..

 

Thanks for the replies. I don't need iPod compatibility as I use my laptop to sync my Jesus phone. I got Songbird installed and it looks like what I'm looking for. I have a bunch of movies on a hard drive. What I'd like to do is be able to browse and watch the movies using cover art. I had a few questions if I may. One, the movies I have cover art attached to them, but when I click on them in Songbird, then appear in the lower left, like this:



What I'd like is for the cover art to appear in the middle at the top. Was there something I missed. I tried a few other views like coverflow and grid, but they did the same things. I know this is going to be a real stupid question, but when I play a movie, the sound works, but I get no picture or pop-up box displaying the movie. I'm sure there's an easy answer to this one. Lastly, any way to get rid of all the tooltips when I mouse over stuff? Thanks for any help.

 

for the album art you can always try mediaflow instead..
its an addon for songbird
for the movies try windows native media support..
another addon

 

I think I used coverflow when I meant to say mediaflow. I tried that and grid for viewing, but they're still stuck in the corner. They're just plain old Mp4 files if that makes a difference.

 

here's something that may help with playing mp4
http://getsatisfaction.com/songbird/topics/playing_mp4_files_even_sound_only
or as i mentioned earlier the windows media addon and quicktime add ons.
also just browse through the addons/extensions..etc to see if there's anything in there.

 

Banshee comes default in openSUSE 11.2 gnome now....it's really good.
