Deadbeef:Light and neat audio player for Linux

DeaDBeeF is one of the best applications that I have discovered for linux. It is lightweight yet powerful, it has very neat and simple UI, just like how an ideal audio player should be.

Install it:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexey-smirnov/deadbeef
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install deadbeef

(Type above commands in terminal or go to site mentioned below)

* It can play - mp3, ogg vorbis, flac, ape, wv, wav, m4a, mpc, tta, cd audio,sid,nsf and lots of other popular chiptune formats.
* No GNOME or KDE dependencies
* Control playback from command line
* Global hotkeys

metadata editor
