Re: Replacing Aqualung with Exaile [DISCUSSION]

 

I added all of my mp3 files on my harddisk to it, and even with such a
large collection, it loads immediately.
The performance and memory usage are impressive, too. I already
contacted the author to discuss translation issue.
He just added gettext support in his repository (i18n branch).
We can pull from his repo, do the translation with LXDE transifex or
pootle, and then, let him pull our translations back to his repo.
Its UI is almost identical to that of LXMusic, but it's much better in
many ways IMHO. Let's use it!
