The Pragha player is in Factory. I think, we should make it a default audio player in Xfce pattern.
Fedora already did. http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=spin-kickstarts.git;a=commit;h=676271bd http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/xfce/2012-February/001019.html
when I last evaluated the GTK-based music management application in oS there were really only Rhythmbox and Banshee. While both offer roughly equivalent functionality, I went with Rhtythmbox over Banshee because the latter would draw in the whole Mono stack which is otherwise not used. In comparison to those two, Pragha offers some integration with Xfce session management and uses a bit less memory but also has significantly less functionality and does not seem to be extensible. In particular, Rhythmbox provides a plugin system and the included plugins offer a lot of useful features such as integration with iPods and MTP-capable devices, DAAP streaming, integration of Jamendo/Magnatune stores, LIRC-remote support etc. Fedora apparently switched because they had Quodlibet before to which Pragha arguably seems to be an improvement, however for us I think it would constitute rather a regression in terms of losing functionality that might be useful to a broad range of users and that are provided by the oS GNOME and KDE desktops. I think that Pragha certainly has a place as a minimalistic solution but I find for the above reasons that currently Rhythmbox is a more suitable default. -- Guido Berhoerster -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-xfce+owner@opensuse.org
