I don't know what sense a GUI is for media, it's much easier to just use the CLI. Don't know how to explain it further; GUIs aren't necessary most of the time. | |||

It's much more convenient to control them with a GUI, and you get things like spectrum analyzer and oscilliscopes. If I hear something and need to pause my song to see what it was I'd much rather click stop than open a console and type some big command. | |||

Originally posted by HyperHacker I quite agree. Plus AmaroK just makes everything so simple and easy. I don't want to be using my brain ALL the time. When I'm relaxing and listening to music, GUI's are nice. I still have text based MP3 player for when my xserver breaks for whatever reason and I have to go in with links and nano to fix it. And that Audacious thing is pretty awesome. |

I actually don't use those. | |||

I find them a completely useless and pointless waste of CPU cycles. | |||

Originally posted by FreeDOS +Originally posted by HyperHacker Absolutely. Seriously though, I haven't seen a command line app that actually responds to keypresses like that. In most cases I'd have to open a new console window and type "somedirectory/programname -somecommand", which is a bit much. If your favourite media player does, then great, that's one program out of so many that supports it. Besides, I prefer to use my keyboard's play/pause keys and not have to switch windows to do so. Do any of your fancy command-line-interface tools support THAT, hmm? Also, media players are one of the few types of apps in which I actually want a fancy interface with a lot of eye candy. I like to be able to just shrink them down to a nice-looking bar or some such and stick them in a corner or on my second monitor to see what's going on at all times. I certainly can't do that with a CLI. Command lines are great for programs you might use as part of a batch job or that just do a simple and quick task, but some things are just better with a nice GUI. Really, I like having both.

Meh, I like my GUI iTunes on OS X.
I'm not sure what it's like to set up playlists on a CLI, but I really do like dragging and dropping stuff in iTunes on my Mac. On Windows I'll agree that iTunes is quite a bit slow and funny; but on the Mac it's spiffy and fast! |

That's probably the best point yet. Dragging and dropping files into/between instances of Winamp or dragging files around in the playlist beats the hell out of typing individual filenames (or even copying and pasting them one at a time) any day. | |||

ncurses MPD client or tab-completion? they make things really easy
Though I never used playlists in my life. |

Oooh! You haven't? I like playlists
My music is so random that I can't actually listen to it on random It just doesn't work musically when one song collides into a complete and utter musical mismatch So I need the ability to customise playlists fairly easily and quickly if I want something that actually works musically to listen to. And I mean "quickly" cause I tend to think of these things while the bath is running and I need to hurry up and get in it... |
