[HLUG] Linux Audio Player

[Sue]

Amarok is still heavy, but it is good. I'd not heard of Banshee, probably 
because it is a Gnome application (as is Rhythmbox); I run KDE. I'll have a 
look at it.

Speaking of which, can my membership details be updated please, I am now using 
sidux as my main distro (the Kanotix team split) and Kanotix on my other 
laptop.

Thanks,

Sue.
