Yammi - another possible choice...

Parent article: The Grumpy Editor's guide to music managers

As always with such articles, not all good apps are covered by the Grumpy Editor, and his readers know a few more ;-)

Quite some time ago, I came across "Yet Another Music Manager I..." really like (or simply "Yammi"), and was impressed esp. by its possibilty to just use XMMS as its player backend and very much by its fuzzy search capability, which makes finding some song you barely remember really easy.

Apart from supporting XMMS as player of choice, one also can use Noatun, an internal arts player or an (experimental) gstreamer backend for that task. If you got two sound cards, you even can listen into a different song on the second one while playing the "normal" stream of music on the first - which makes Yammi an interesting tool for your local DJ as well :)

More info about that particular tool can be found on its homepage at http://yammi.sourceforge.net/.
