It uses GStreamer on the audio
back end and compresses music using Ogg Vorbis audio format. In addition to enabling
you to create playlists of your music library, Rhythmbox also has features for playing
Internet radio stations. Free music stores were added to Rhythmbox in recent releases,
allowing you to play free music from Jamendo (www.jamendo.com/en/) and Magnatune
(www.magnatune.com), and possibly purchase CDs or license use of that music for
commercial projects.
 KsCD player (kscd)??”The KsCD player comes with the KDE desktop. To use it, the
kdemultimedia package must be installed. From the main menu on the KDE desktop,
select Multimedia???KsCD (or type kscd in a Terminal window). Like gnome-cd, this
player lets you get title, track, and artist information from the CD database. KsCD, however,
also lets you submit information to a CD database (if your CD isn??™t found there).
 Grip (grip)??”While Grip is primarily used as a CD ripper, it can also play CDs. Select
Multimedia???Grip (or type grip in a Terminal window). It includes tools for gathering
data from and submitting data to CD databases. It also includes tools for copying (ripping)
CD tracks and converting them to different formats (encoding). Naturally, the grip package
must be installed to use this command.
