Re: Deadbeef in Lubuntu PPA

 

Hiyas Steve, you're a naughty boi :P

I had a win 98 system take 3 days to find all the music on my external (usb)
hard drive. But then again it is 40,000 tracks and about 2,000+ karaoke
tracks :) I used RythmBox and it got them sorted out overnight. It's just a
personal preference for deadbeef, as it does seem to me to be less resource
hungry. Having people post up how it performs on their own computers is
really useful, as it allows the boss to decide which one is best for
Lubuntu.

Regards,

Phill.
