Like other posters here, when I think of Linux audio, I think of

<A HREF="http://www.gazuga.net/" TITLE="gazuga.net">Specimen</a gazuga.net>,
and many more. I think of what people talk about on linux-audio-users and linux-audio-developers
mailing lists. Music players aren't audio.
As for Rhythmbox, I think it's a great program in principle. However, I have very little of my large music collection on the computer, because the playback quality I get through my speakers is so poor compared to my stereo. Instead, what I'd like to do is use Rhythmbox to listen to internet radio stations. It's clearly intended to be able to do that; it comes with some default radio station addresses. But since both Shoutcast and Live365 connection and playback are broken in Rhythmbox, and have been for quite some time, getting this working seems fairly low on the priority list. Which is fine, of course; their project and all. But it's why I use

instead of Rhythmbox.

Not audio; Rhythmbox good but . . .
