For my listening pleasure, I use Rhythmbox, an audio player which was inspired by Apple's iTunes.

It is free software which was designed to to work under GNOME Desktop

The features which drew me to it include music playback, music importing, audio CD burning, album cover display, and DAAP sharing.

Extra features include context menu integration in Nautilus file manager -- When the mouse pointer "hovers" over the music file, it plays back. This feature is known as "hover mode" playback.

The Music Applet provides Rhythmbox playback controls from within the panel.

For more information, check out the Rhythmbox homepage at: http://projects.gnome.org/rhythmbox/

Review: Meg & Dia - If you're poor, find something to sue somebody for

Angels never sang more beautifully than these two, Meg and Dia.

Each song speaks of adventures that cross back and forth across America, east to west, and north to south.

For these two bring to life the inner world other girls keep locked inside.

Cardigan Weather is a lively melody, but Lessons in New Jersey sounds almost like they were inspired by JPOP and added their own lyrics to it.

Monster is lively, too.

But Suddenly Sunday blew me away.

Strawberry Waltz again brought to life something out of their imagination, and Santa Barbara ended it all nicely.

Overall, a great album.
