Come to think of it, the last time I tried to find deadbeef, I only found the debs that I'd previously saved. I'll look around and see what I can find. Deadbeef might have come from Hadret.

Just saying: with all those mediaplayer around, i could easily list 10, is it really good to use the single one not in the repos? (And then, later, not knowing from where it came from anymore).
I am not against it, i only say why i try to avoid such (keeping it as easy as possible).

That thought has crossed my mind many times. I much prefer using packages that are in the main repo, and failing that, in any official debian repo. Whenever I've looked at other media players, I found something I didn't like, or they used more memory than deadbeef. I'm willing to take another look. Names are not coming to mind right now, so if you could suggest a few, I'll play with them. Oh yeah, I'll start the list - audacious. I'll take another look at that one. Can't recall if you can make playlists with it. Also, I like the fact that deadbeef has an equalizer built in.

I must say how nicely laid out it all is and looks a very "professional" job.
