Is there a JACK music player?

Post by Louigi Verona »

I heard that VLC or some other player can have some plugins but it sounds a bit complex. I remember installing a plugin for VLC that makes it "jackified" but it did not work.

Is there any player that is JACK compatible?

I prefer Aqualung. And VLC has a JACK plugin and Rhythmbox works with JACK too.
I don't trust Audacious, it's still too buggy for me.

My general guide for Ubuntu Karmic users would be this:

1. Open your web browser.
2. Download Ubuntu Jaunty.
3. Uninstall Karmic.
4. Install Ubuntu Jaunty.

As for Audacious, it seems to work fine for me. I have used it to stream radios and record those streams - I mean, wow, this is really great!
