Excellent Work, GREAT SOUND, activate the integrated Equalizer, make some bands adjustments and Amazing Sound (I'm been a DJ for the past 15 Years) GREAT WORK!!!!!!!

In the tradition of Foobar2000, DeaDBeeF is a fast, lightweight player with an unobtrusive GUI. It boasts audiophile features found together in no other Linux player I know of: practically universal codec support, true gapless playback, Replaygain and proper cue sheet support.

DeaDBeeF's look, as evidenced by the screenshots on its website, is highly customizable -- although it is cumbersome to customize. I would appreciate a more cohesive theming system. That aside, the authors have culled the most powerful options of popular audio players into well written, finely organized menus. Everything I want is there, is called by a sensible name, and lives just where I expect it to.

Kudos to Alexey and his team. DeaDBeeF is a pleasure to use.

Extremely light (around 20 MB of RAM in Lubuntu 12.04) but extremely powerful and stable. Can be used with or without install (static/portable). Not as many addons/plugins as foobar2000, but there are some good ones like Infobar (song's lyrics; artist's biography) and File Browser. The later is excellent in accessing music database without any increase in memory use (better than Foobar in this sense!). A sound converter is included if codecs are installed. Can switch between GTK2 and GTK3 interface. Playlists in multiple tabs (foobar-like); editable colors.
