Hello,

I am sending this mail because of the advise Julien Lavergne gave me in
our big ¨Lubuntu application discussion for maverick¨ discussion. :P

This mail is about discussing Aqualung replacing with Exaile.
Exaile is a bit like a lightweight rhythmbox, it loads quickly and
supports a lot of music files. Through Synaptic you can even install a
plugin for Ipod support, and you can also install a plugin for pidgin so
pidgin can display the music song you are listening with Exaile.
Exaile uses about 18,8 mb of memory on idle, and Aqualung uses 9.9 mb of
memory on idle (LXmusic 2.7 mb :P )
Exaile has many advantages, it is not gray and not odd looking like
Aqualung (which looks weird in every Desktop Enviroment) less
dependencies, more support because of a bigger project. (e.g Exaile has
a good launchpad page with bug reporting and translating all open to
everyone, Aqualung hasn´t got a launchpad page.)
Is the 9 mb difference in memory consumption acceptable in Lubuntu? Or a
slightly different question, is it worth the sacrifice? (Atleast I think
it definetly is, but what about you guys?)
