I've used it for all of 10 minutes and I already hate it. Not only does the UI feel pretty old fashioned, the application was slow to respond to commands, and when playing back 24/96 audio it stuttered and struggled its way through the songs. This was tested with El Capitan. I'll try it on my Mint PC at work to see if it's any better.

Gonna give this a try tonight. Is this considered the best music player and/or organizer for Linux? I use MusicBee for Windows, but recently installed Ubuntu in a dual-boot on my laptop, and I'm looking to have a good setup for Linux as well. Any suggestions are welcomed, as I'm fairly new to Linux (not been onboard since Red Hat Linux around 15 years ago).

Sorry for going off topic, but I really need advice on a top quality video editing software for Mac. I use Sony Vegas on Windows and it's perfect. I even run Vegas on Mac using a Windows interface, but when I use it on Mac it crashes when I launch the rendering. Any advice? I tried Final Cut Pro but the interface was awful. I'm looking for something very similar to Vegas but for Mac.

Most of the time I would say virtual box, but Video production is high on resource. linux version is Kdenlive: www.kdenlive.org/ , which has Mac package as well. It's closest to Vegas and for free.

I switched from Windows Media Player to Clementine after using it on linux. Now I use it on windows. I think overall it's a better player. I love the 'smart' playlist function, especially the 50 random tracks. I also like that it picks up metadata much better than WMP. I like that it plays .flac too.
For the record, these are the only two players I have tried or really care to try.

Since this post. I liked a lot more and tired www.tomahawk-player.orgsudo add-apt-repository ppa:tomahawk/ppa Then install Tomahawk 0.8 via Synaptic Package Manager or commands below: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install tomahawk tomahawk-dbg Thanks for that! Installing it now. Any other tips and recommendation for Linux apps you would consider necessities are also very welcomed. Still need to read up on some of the basics of Linux (such as using the Terminal operations, and how the filesystem differs from Windows, etc..), but very happy so far once I got everything up and running (had issues with crashing when online during install, and not to mention the NVIDA drivers).

Joakim No viruses,malware,spyware. Basically not much too different to be honest. We all download, watch stuff and surf the net. Finding apps and installing is different, but again everything updates at once. Free and easy. More peace of mind for shopping,banking, and anything else that is private. The worst feeling is having a virus or malware, then worry about your accounts if they were effected. Ubuntu base distros I suggest, because easier and better supported. Ubuntu Software center helps to break in new users. I still suggest everyone still have at least one windows machine or mac for photos or video editing. Linux is different for everyone from distros to layouts. Very customizable. live4ever.proboards.com/thread/82852/elementary-os-guide

Enjoyed that introduction to Linux in the Elementary OS-topic link. I'm gonna start off with Ubuntu, but I'll probably try out a few different distros for both my Desktop PC, and the Raspberry Pi I'm playing around with. Once I get the hang of things I'll probably try Arch as I love to build stuff and have control over what I install/use. Ended up having to move back to Clementine Music Player though, as Tomahawk wouldn't recognize my external or second HDD. It was probably my mistake, and probably fixable with some mounting or tricks, but in the end I read other people had the same issue, so settled for Clementine for now. Joakim
