Re: Your thoughts on some application choices to be run in Crunchbang

interesting audio player; deadbeef (in repos)

I've been using deadbeef for a while now. Love it. Nice and lightweight, very simple. Its what I've been looking for in a music player. I've used Rhythmbox, banshee, audacious, the whole lot, and never felt satisfied with any of them. 

Cplay is good too.

1) Media player:
I have a collection of 20k songs in mp3 format with id3 tags on a network shared drive(win xp mounted through fstab).  I would like a media player that would allow me to select and play media from the networked drive.  I've loved Banshee in the past, but am open-minded toward losing a lot of features.

You might want to try Guayadeque.  It's a lightweight music player with a nice GUI interface that weighs in at 2.1MB download with a 5.8MB install.  It's also the fastest that I have seen at importing music.  With a library of 20k songs, I think that it would suit you well.

It did, however, automatically extract lower quality versions of all embedded album art and replace the better quality versions I already had present in each album directory. I was a tad annoyed, as I edited and touched up a few of the poorer quality versions of some and embedded them back into the MP3s before I realised what Guayadeque had done when it scanned and imported the files.

It's not in testing or unstable either, but the developer has packaged it (named debubuntu i686 and amd64)...

Radiotray

Nice little radio stream player, with an "easy" interface running in the system tray.

Tomahawk music player |  # but i haven't tried it on #! yet  .. its not on the repo for some reason!
http://gettomahawk.com/
https://mozillalabs.com/en-US/tomahawk/
www.tomahawk-player.org
