gejengel8There are plenty of options when it comes to music player on Ubuntu. However, it doesn’t hurt to try some new one’s (which don’t come installed by default). One such player is called Gejengel. I am still struggling to get on with the pronunciation. It’s a very simple and easy to use player.

Description

Gejengel is an audio player which focuses on performance and simplicity, yet with a nice set of features.
Some key features:

  • Easy to use
  • Properly handles compilation albums (even if album artist tag is not set)
  • Lean and fast (low on dependencies)
  • Gapless playback (even for mp3 by reading encoder delay, zeropadding from files)
  • Various audio outputs (Alsa, Pulseaudio, OpenAL)
  • Last.Fm scrobbling (optional plugin)
  • Remote control through dbus (MPRIS specification) (optional plugin)
