Re: [libreoffice-users] OT : good cd import software on linux

Hi :)
Nice! :)  I had not thought of using Vlc as a media player, ie music too.  


Tbh though i think you are describing the old "way of things" from a couple of years ago.  There is 
a lot more out there now.  Rhythmbox is built in and probably even has an add-on for starring or 
rating music.  It's a dedicated music player and even gives easy access to a Music Store 
(confusingly also called Ubuntu One), various Radio (such as LibreFm, LastFm and others that can be 
user-defined), Podcasts and stuff.  

It's right there when you click on the speaker icon in Unity.  Simples
Regards from 

Tom :)
