- | Now, more than a year later, I went back to see how these new RSS clients were faring. | ||
- | LightRead, | + | Do we really need more Open Source music players? What’s wrong with Banshee, Amarok and Rhythmbox? |
- | Una reader had a rough start, the project lead expressed his fears on a comment thread: “I don't believe Una will be ready in time for the contest”. His fears turned out to be well founded, and Una didn’t make the Ubuntu App Showdown list. Later in the year, Chris McCutcheon made an announcement - “Due to the lack of free time, the Una project is being put on hold.” However, mid 2013 Chris made another announcement, | + | BORN OUT OF FRUSTRATION |

- | Finally Feedivore. | + | Jason Herskowitz, part of the Tomahawk team, was brutally honest in enumerating the reasons for a new music player: |
+ | • Social music services are fundamentally broken given that everyone uses different sources – can't there be an interoperability layer that enables users of different music services to easily share/ | ||
+ | • Why can't I easily listen to all the music I have scattered across multiple computers, at multiple locations, from a single interface? | ||
+ | • When I am reading a website that talks about a song, and I own that song, why can't I play my copy directly from that page? | ||
+ | • Why can't I subscribe to, and import, playlist metadata from all over the web - and then have that resolve against any/all songs that I have access to? | ||
+ | • Why do I have to listen to songs I have on my hard drive, and songs from services I subscribe to, in totally different user experiences? | ||
+ | ** | ||
- | Well, the news is bad; I tried hard to locate the app; however, all I found was a year old Reddit thread and a screenshot. | + | Les suspects non-usuels |

- | Liferea was created on July 3, 2003. Lars Windolf, the project lead, explained the need for such a RSS client. “Problem was that Straw and Syndigator were too buggy, and back then installing Python and its relevant libraries was hell. Solving the dependency once at compile time seemed to be the better choice.” | + | ** |

- | Most RSS readers have a traditional three-pane user interface (UI) that resembles email readers. The first column is inevitably the browser that helps you select the feed source. The second column split into 2 panes, one gives a bird eye view of all the news items while the second shows the specific entry. Such a UI, while rather monotonous, has the advantage of being tried and tested and simply works. | + | PAS VRAIMENT UNE RECLAMATION |
- | Akregator (above left), Liferea (above right) and RSSOwl (bottom right) all have a three-pane GUI but with subtle differences that I have outlined below. | + | Le créateur de Clementine, David Sansome, a expliqué ses raisons pour commencer le projet. « J'ai commencé à coder Clementine en novembre 2009. Je venais juste de mettre à jour ma distrib. vers une nouvelle version qui est arrivée avec Amarok 2.0, et j'ai décidé que vraiment je ne l' |
- | Akregator has a simple toolbar with options to fetch feeds for the current source or to fetch all feeds. You can also mark a feed as read and move back and forth. The inbuilt browser supports tabbed browsing and is unobtrusive – allowing you to view the news comfortably. The search bar is also straightforward and allows you to easily find what you’re looking for. | + | M. Sansome |
- | Liferea offers more comprehensive controls from the toolbar. Its toolbar includes options to create a new subscription, | + | ==== 2 ==== |

- | Reading Experience | + | Clementine has a fixed three- column UI. The first column essentially consists of broad categories, you choose whether you wish to search, go to your local library, browse your hard drive, see connected devices, or use Internet related features. The second column then shows the options available within each of the categories. The third column has the standard music list interface with the inclusion of a unique moodbar. The list of music shown is a playlist. Clementine has both normal |
+ | ** | ||
- | Akregator has a wonderful embedded browser. The tabs allow you to keep several stories open at once, and the minimal browser controls mean the news item gets prominence. Akregator aims to be a simple RSS reader; it doesn’t have many more features. There are no smart folders or sharing options. But most users probably would not need such features under normal circumstances. The lack of features doesn’t take away from Akregator; in fact it helps to underscore the fact that Akregator is a minimal easy-to-use RSS reader that is perfect for casual users. | + | INTERFACE UTILISATEUR |
- | Liferea offers a great viewing experience as well. Its browser is not as good as Akregator, but still functions nicely. The ability to add bookmarks is appreciated. Liferea also allows you to define ‘Search Folders’ and has advanced search options that include searching in Twitter or Reddit.com. On the whole, Liferea does a good job of providing all the basic features users want in a simple UI – with more advanced features concealed under the hood. | + | Tomahawk dispose d'une interface utilisateur dynamique à deux ou à trois colonnes, en fonction de l' |
- | Finally, RSSOwl – I’ve mentioned this before but, for emphasis, I’ll repeat it – RSSOwl is a newsreader for power users. Sure it offers | + | Clementine a une interface utilisateur à trois colonnes fixes. La première colonne se compose essentiellement de catégories larges, vous choisissez si vous souhaitez rechercher, aller dans votre bibliothèque locale, parcourir votre disque dur, voir les périphériques connectés, ou utiliser les fonctionnalités liées à Internet. La deuxième colonne indique alors les options disponibles dans chaque catégorie. La troisième colonne |

- | With LightRead, Pressboy and Una reader at the vanguard of the Linux RSS client revolution, we will, hopefully, soon have even more options. When I asked Mr. Windolf, project lead of Liferea, whether he was worried about the competition, he replied, “They are competition in the sense of trying to create even better feed readers and matching other use cases. But as we are all open source projects, it is about the fun and learning new things.” To a more open future. | + | Voici où Tomahawk excelle. Dès le début, Tomahawk a été conçu pour être un lecteur de musique pour un monde entièrement connecté. Tomahawk offre une intégration homogène avec Last.fm, SoundCloud, Jamendo, Grooveshark, Spotify, et beaucoup d' |

It uses the Web to provide lyrics for the song, artist bio, and similar artist recommendations. It too offers integration with Last.fm, Jamendo, SoundCloud, Spotify, Magnatune, and even Google Drive.

+ | ADDITIONAL MUSINGS AND DEVICE SUPPORT | ||
- | Summary | + | If Tomahawk was a person, he would have been an extrovert. With integration options including Google Talk, Jabber and Twitter, and the ability to chat with one’s friends, you may be excused for wondering whether it’s a music app or social networking client. However, snide remarks aside, the feature is a perfect option for users who want to share great music with their friends from the comfort of their music players. |

+ | Clementine has an interesting moodbar feature which looks great and is perhaps a slight nod to the ability of music to influence our feelings. Clementine also has a slightly unusual and eccentric sense of humour. In the ‘Extras’ menu entry, it has ‘Rain’, ‘Kittens’, | ||

+ | Clementine connected with my Samsung music player immediately. It took about a minute to scan my 300+ song collection. One small irritation was due to Clementine’s playlist-based song view. If I wanted to view my MP3 player’s entire music collection in the main pane, I would have to first drag them to the the playlist. | ||

+ | CONCLUSION | ||
+ | |||
