NAME

       rhythmbox - music player and library for tagged files using GStreamer

SYNOPSIS

       rhythmbox [option...]

DESCRIPTION

       rhythmbox  is a very easy to use music playing and management program which supports a wide range of audio formats (including mp3 and ogg).
       Originally inspired by Apple's iTunes, the current version also supports Internet Radio and Last.fm integration, iPod syncing  and  generic
       portable audio player support. Audio CD playback, ripping and encoding, music sharing, and Podcasts.

       For performance reasons, the remote control abilities have been moved from the rhythmbox binary to a separate program. See rhythmbox-client
