Was ist Exaile?

Exaile began as a fork of Amarok 1.4, aiming to provide a lightweight yet feature‑rich player for GNOME users. Over the years it has stabilized into a mature application, now available in major distributions and on Flathub. It targets users who want a simple interface but still need advanced music management: automatic album art, lyrics, smart playlists, and extensive plugin support. Compared to 1by1, DeliPlayer, Foobar2000, or Winamp, Exaile feels more modern and integrated with the Linux desktop, while keeping keyboard shortcuts and playlist handling familiar to power users.

Ideal für: Users wanting a free, extensible music player that balances simplicity and advanced features.

Tipps für Windows-Umsteiger

When moving from Foobar2000 or Winamp, import your existing playlists (.m3u/.pls) directly into Exaile; the keyboard shortcuts differ (e.g., Ctrl+P for play/pause). Exaile handles MP3, FLAC, OGG, and AAC natively; for other formats you may need libav or ffmpeg. Podcast feeds can be added via the ‘Podcasts’ tab, and internet radio stations are added through the ‘Internet Radio’ menu.
