Banshee
 Banshee is music
management and playback software for GNOME.
With
Banshee you can easily import, manage, and play selections from
your music collection. Banshee allows you to import CDs, sync your
music collection to an mobile device, play music directly from an
mobile player, create playlists with songs from your library, and
create audio and MP3 CDs from subsets of your library.
Banshee uses Gstreamer to play, encode, and decode Ogg Vorbis,
MP3s,
and other music formats,
with only AAC files requiring the use of RealNetwork's Helix media
framework for decoding.
