How To Install Listen In Ubuntu, Another "Cool" Audio Player For GNU Linux

Although "Listen" is not as popular as Banshee or Rhythmbox... but "Listen" is one of the most advanced audio players that you can find for Linux without a doubt. It is written in Python (not the animal kind... a programing language :P.. kidding) and from accessing Wikipedia or lastfm for lyrics management to powerful Equalizers... it has "everything".

Wanna listen! :)

Main features...

*. Supports a lot of audio formats.

*. Can even be used as an audio converter as well.

*. Burn audio CDs.

*. MP3, etc tag editing.
