Really nice tune player, was able to connect my Ipod and Sync pretty easily.
Thanks to the team!
Finally a music manager that doesn’t totally suck. I wish aTunes would use the system’s skin and not their own.
aTunes is a really great audio player equal to or better than most other Linux audio players when it comes to features, however, it does seem a bit heavy on memory, I seriously would not not recommend it for anyone with 1GB RAM or less.
correction – I would not recommend it for anyone with 1GB RAM or less.
Look’s like it works very well. Too bad it’s ugly as hell….
