#20 Re: Why do media players have such complex interfaces? Posted by Anonymous (62.252.xx.xx) on Sat 1 Jul 2006 at 06:11 For me surely audio quality is a factor of the media, the decoding backend, the soundcard, amplifier and speakers in use. I expect a lot of users don't have the latter two right. For me, probably old enough now I no longer have "golden ears" at least above 13kHz or so, high bitrate MP3 and Ogg sounds great on a good amplification system. I'm currently using MPD and NCMPD on my low power embedded system - an advantage of which is that with only the 2.5" hard drive to make noise it's quieter than this keyboard which also adds to the musical enjoyment. A good front end to MPD would be nice - perhaps a plugin for Amarok, though Amarok would need changes to its catalog management too which may be fiddly as I expect it assumes a filesystem. NCMPD is effective as vim is effective, though features such a queueing would be great. - Richard
