"Nowadays I collect, store, and listen to music mostly on digital media, so I thought I'd find myself a Linux audio player that does all the things I need it to do. Little did I know how many options I had! After evaluating more than a dozen applications, I've found three that I feel provide the best mix of features and performance." Read more at Linux.com.

I liked the article
So the damage is done.
For me it was a nice synopsis of features without having to go through everyone of the programs myself
It's not, this review does not talk of ANY of the features of these programs, and is wrong on lots of things. If you believe that, you have the wrong picture.
Maybe it wasnt as in depth as some would like but in absence of anything else, it is a good effort he put forth regarding his experiences and his opinions. He took the time to do it
I still wonder how someone that does not understand sth can tell if another person took time to do it.
I can tell you he did not took any time to do this article.
Yes, windows requires codecs in some instances. Yes, linux requires codecs in some instances
You're wrong. Every OS need codecs everytime for playing any video or audio, to make the conversion from bits to a signal your soundcard understand.
If I put the time in to make it work, will it do what I want it to and the way I want to? I liked it. More of the same please!!!
You liked it so the damage is done.
You don't have any work to do for these things to work, except to install some apps that distros can't install legally out of the box on a free distro.
Or do you plan on using a development distro too ??!!
All the work the work you talk about is the distro's work, not yours.

"So the damage is done."?
I guess I didnt follow that.
"All the work the work you talk about is the distro's work, not yours."
I never said I did any of the work. I wouldnt even know how to begin on half of that. I liked the article. See, now that you told me i'm wrong, and shouldn't like the article, I am enlightened. Thank you.
If you would send me a post of your articles, I would be pleased to read those too! I am sure they set a high standard.

I liked the article. For me it was a nice synopsis of features without having to go through everyone of the programs myself. There are thousands of programs out there and I for one get quite confused by what does what, and how well. Maybe it wasnt as in depth as some would like but in absence of anything else, it is a good effort he put forth regarding his experiences and his opinions. He took the time to do it. Yes, windows requires codecs in some instances. Yes, linux requires codecs in some instances. To me, its about functionality. If I put the time in to make it work, will it do what I want it to and the way I want to? I liked it. More of the same please!!!
