Good Free Linux Audio Software.

Linux Audio Software, Audacious, Banshee, Amarok, Exaile, JuK, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox
Music is perhaps one of the best stress busters out there. If you're a Linux user, you'll know there are quite a few interesting audio software that make listening to music a sheer delight on the platform. On the request of some of our readers, we have compiled here 7 good Linux audio software.

1.Audacious

Audacious is a free and open source audio player with a focus on low resource usage, high audio quality, and support for a wide range of audio formats.

2.Banshee

Banshee is a cross-platform open-source media player built upon Mono and Gtk#, it uses the GStreamer multimedia platform for encoding and decoding various media formats, including Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and FLAC. Banshee can play and import audio CDs and supports many portable media players, including Apple's iPod, Android devices and Creative's ZEN players.

3.Amarok

Amarok is a cross-platform free and open source music player. Although Amarok is part of the KDE project, it is released independently of the central KDE Software Compilation release cycle.

4.Exaile

Exaile is a music player that was originally conceived to be similar in style and function to KDE's Amarok 1.4, but uses the GTK+ widget toolkit rather than Qt. It is written in Python and utilises the GStreamer media framework.

5.JuK

JuK is a free software audio player by KDE, the default player since K Desktop Environment 3.2. JuK supports collections of MP3, Ogg Vorbis, and FLAC audio files.

6.Quod Libet

Quod Libet is a cross-platform free and open-source music player, tag editor and library organiser. The main design philosophy is that the user knows how they want to organise their music best and is built to be fully customisable and extensible using regular expressions. Quod Libet is a GTK+-based audio player that is written in Python, and uses the Mutagen tagging library.

7.Rhythmbox

Rhythmbox is an audio player that plays and helps organise digital music. Rhythmbox is free software, designed to work well under the GNOME Desktop using the GStreamer media framework. However, Rhythmbox functions on desktop environments other than GNOME.
