Exaile is a free software audio player for Unix-like operating systems that aims to be similar to KDE's Amarok, but based on the GTK+ toolkit instead of the Qt toolkit Amarok uses. It is written using pygtk (previously wxPython). It also uses the GStreamer multimedia platform for audio playback, and the [http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet/wiki/Development/Mutagen Mutagen] library for reading and writing track metadata. A patch to make Exaile run under Windows is already done, but official porting using GTK+ and GStreamer under Windows is currently under development.

Features

Exaile incorporates many features found in Amarok including:

* Automatic fetching of album art
* Handling of large music libraries
* Lyrics fetching
* Artist and album information via Wikipedia
* bidirectional last.fm support (both scrobbling of played songs and retrieving related songs from the last.fm server)
* Optional iPod support (requires python-gpod)
