There are specialized Linux distributions centered around video editing, sound studio programs, and multimedia applications. Although these distributions tend to come prepackaged with everything you will probably need to get started, most users are already setup with their favorite desktop distribution already installed and serving in productivity. Here we focus on the individual programs and software that you can add to your already installed distribution. The current section deals with both Redhat based CentOS and Debian based Ubuntu. Desktop environments may be either Gnome or KDE centric in some cases. == Audio Players for X.Org ===== Audacious ===Audacious is a GPL license Linux music player which looks like Winamp and XMMS. It consumes very less computational resources and supports a variety of formats. Its roots trace back to XMMS player, two forks back. sudo apt-get install audacious=== Clementine ===Clementine is a port of Amarok 1.4 to the Qt 4 framework and the GStreamer multimedia framework. Just like Rhythmbox, Clementine has the annoying habit of [[Mint_Linux_Distribution_Reference#Disable_Annoying_Sound_Menu_Integration|Sound Menu Integration]] on some distros like Ubuntu and Mint. Clementine is often recommended to users looking for software to create smart and dynamic playlists. It handles tabbed playlists, import and export as M3U, XSPF, PLS, ASX and Cue sheets. Besides the annoying sound menu integration, Clementine uses up to twice the CPU than VLC and takes up about 180 MB of memory, plus additional memory for spawned processes (tag-readers), while VLC uses 80 MB with no other processes. It comes with many Internet radio channels and plugins that are not removable, however they can be disabled. === qmmp ===qmmp is a Linux music player which looks like Winamp and XMMS. It supports mpeg1 layer 1/2/3, ogg vorbis, native flac support, musepack and wavpack, modplug, wmpa, pcm wave, acc. audio cds, CUE sheet, WavPack embedded CUE and FLAC embedded CUE support. It can use ALSA, PulseAudio, Jack or OSS sound. note: It is not necessary to add the repository in Mint 18. The package is available in Synaptic as 'qmmp'. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:forkotov02/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install qmmp qmmp-plugin-packUpdate 2017: Current versions of Ubuntu such as 16 use Qt5- Qmmp 1.1.3 is Qt5 based and it’s available for Ubuntu 16.04 and Ubuntu 16.10 in PPAAdd the Ubuntu PPA at the command line as SUDO then perform the installation. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:forkotov02/ppa sudo apt update sudo apt install qmmp qmmp-plugin-packThe default theme is very dark.
