hi
in my personal opinion exaile is worthless. I had only problems with
it, user-unfriendly interface, trying to be amarok-like libary with
addition of player. both aqualung and rythmbox are much better choice.
rhythmbox has bizzare interface that you have to learn how to use, but
it is possible to do that (unlike with exaile, wich seems very similar
to players like amarok so ypu think theres nothing to learn, but then
it suprises you with its options and features hidden so much that you
can't configure it at all and in the end it unusable and impossible to
learn it without help on forums! and we want lubuntu to be easy for
everyone, right?), and aqualung is pure spartan simplicity, yet
powerfullness, like foobar on windows, with wich you have to really
try to mess something up to have it not working.
so I'd stick to aqualung.
cheers
