Exaile 3.4.1 Overview A Feature-Complete GNOME Music Player
================================================================================
**Exaile** has been a bit quiet in the past two years with maybe only one or two stable releases, but nevertheless, its one of the full-featured music players for GNOME which are on par with applications like [Rhythmbox][1] or [Banshee][2] in terms of features. However, over the past two months a new stable release, 3.4, has been put out under the slogan “Were not dead yet”, as well as an incremental 3.4.1 release, which shipped on November 1. To be honest, Exaile has so many features that I could go on writing a lot more than an article to cover them all, so lets have a look at some of the most notable ones.
![](http://www.tuxarena.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/exaile02.jpg)
[Exaile][3] is a GTK2-based music player written in Python which fits well into GNOME, has an interface which pretty much resembles the one of the old Amarok 1.4 or actual Clementine, and ships with some great features. The interface is composed mainly of two panels, both with support for tabs. The left panel provides access to the collection, Internet radio, smart and custom playlists, file browser, podcasts, Group Tagger and lyrics while the main area of the window is taken by the playlists (with multiple, tabbed playlist support) and control buttons.
Exailes interface is very similar to the one of Clementine or Amarok 1.4 and the tabs on the left can be shown or hidden:

Version 3.4 shipped with a big number of major new features and changes while 3.4.1 was a small bug fix release. The major new features in 3.4 include new plugins like Icecast, Lyricsmania, Playlist Analyzer, Soma.fm, a new, simpler plugin API. Changes were done to the user interface and the general behavior as well, with the possibility to show playlists in multiple panels, close left panels, better BPM UI integration.
The first time it starts you can add music folders to the collection you can also choose to add directories and enable or disable monitoring or scanning them at start-up:

Exailes features are practically countless. You can organize your music in a collection, listen to podcasts, set song ratings, edit tags, view file properties, queue tracks, view lyrics and covers, sort the playlist by a huge number of criteria, change playback behavior or appearance style.
Equalizer, cover manager and listening to Internet radio:

Local album covers are detected automatically and can be shown in full size, with the possibility to zoom in or out:

The preferences window allows to configure various aspects of Exaile, including enable or disable plugins, appearance, system tray integration, or playback. The appearance settings will allow you to change the tabs placement, show/hide the tab bar, enable or disable transparency, or disable the start-up splash screen.

The system tray integration offers a menu to quickly play/pause songs, set a song rating or change the way the playlist handles playback (shuffle, repeat or dynamic).

The countless features in Exaile I believe make it the perfect choice as a music player, especially for GNOME users. Any user should be satisfied with the wealth of options and the highly configurable approach.
### Install Exaile 3.4.1 in Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 ###
Compiling and installing from source should be pretty straightforward. First, get the dependencies:
sudo apt-get build-dep exaile
sudo apt-get install python-gst0.10
Download the source tarball from the [downloads page][4] (direct link [here][5]), then uncompress it:
tar -xf exaile-3.4.1.tar.gz
Change the working directory to exaile-3.4.1 and issue the following commands:
make
sudo make install
The binary will be installed as **/usr/local/bin/exaile**.

Flow N Play Movie Player Has a Stylish Interface [Ubuntu Installation]
================================================================================
**Flow N Play** is a new video player written in Qt which features a pretty slick and simple interface which provides only the basic features for playing movies.
![](http://www.tuxarena.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/flow_n_play.jpg)
[Flow N Play][1] is relatively new video player (the first release was made earlier this year in March) with a beautiful interface and a pretty simple approach, with one of the features being the possibility to slide over the list of movies by dragging the mouse. The player comes with basic functionality, a search function, support for colored themes.
Opening a new video you can also choose a custom cover in the same dialog:

The Settings dialog customize some basic options here:
![](http://www.tuxarena.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/flow_n_play_settings.jpg)
Flow N Play is still in early development though, and as such it has a few downsides over more advanced players. There are few options to customize it, no support for subtitles or video and audio filters. Currently there seems to be either a bug or strange behavior upon opening a new movie, which doesnt always start automatically.
I believe a few more features could be added before it gets to being usable as a decent alternative to other players, but given the time, Flow N Play looks really promising.
### Install Flow N Play 0.922 in Ubuntu 14.04 ###
There are several different ways to install Flow N Play in Ubuntu. There are DEB packages, RUN Bash installers, and standalone binaries available on the [Qt-Apps page][2].
To install Flow N Play first get the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libqt5multimediaquick-p5 qtdeclarative5-controls-plugin qtdeclarative5 qtmultimedia-plugin qtdeclarative5-qtquick2-plugin qtdeclarative5-quicklayouts-plugin
Then download the DEB package and either double click it or change the working directory to the one where you saved it and type the following in a terminal (for 64-bit, replace the DEB file for 32-bit):
sudo dpkg -i flow-n-play_v0.926_qt-5.3.2_x64.deb
Then type **flow-n-play** in a terminal to run it. Notice that in case you get dependency errors when trying to install the DEB file, you can run **sudo apt-get -f install**, which will fetch the missing dependencies automatically and will install Flow N Play as well.
To install Flow N Play using the RUN script, install the dependencies mentioned above and then run the script:
wget -O http://www.prest1ge-c0ding.24.eu/programs/Flow-N-Play/v0.926/bin/flow-n-play_v0.926_qt-5.3.2_x64.run
sudo ./flow-n-play_v0.926_qt-5.3.2_x64.run
The third method is to install it manually to a location of your choice (just download the binary provided after installing the dependencies) e.g. for 32-bit:
wget -O http://www.prest1ge-c0ding.24.eu/programs/Flow-N-Play/v0.926/bin/Flow-N-Play_v0.926_Qt-5.3.2_x86
