BMPx – My new favourite music player
I just installed BMPx and I am thoroughly impressed. It has last.fm support, podcast support, shoutcast & icecast, and of course it plays your music. This has won me over from my previous favourite music player, Muine, with it’s support for all things streaming. As with all the good programs development is still ongoing with new features being added all the time, so keep your eyes peeled!
Download instructions available here.
Happy listening,

How does it compare to Amarok?
Actually, comparing it to amarok, it isn’t as “feature rich”. However, it is a viable alternative for the GNOME desktop (or XFCE etc..)
Either way, it does what it’s supposed to do: Play Music. It does it quite well. Having the option of listening to Jamendo playlists and Last.fm, among others, is actually quite nice. I’m sure Amarok has these features as well. I like BMPx a lot.
