How to install Exaile! on Ubuntu Edgy
December 26, 2007
Exaile is a media player aiming to be similar to KDE’s AmaroK, but for GTK+. It incorporates many of the cool things from AmaroK (and other media players) like automatic fetching of album art, handling of large libraries, lyrics fetching, artist/album information via the wikipedia, last.fm support, optional iPod support (assuming you have python-gpod installed).
Enable The Universe and Non-Free Multiverse Repositories
Ensure the relevant repositories are enabled. Click System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager -> Settings -> Repositories and then click Add. Check the Community maintained (Universe)’ and Non-free (Multiverse) boxes. When you close the window, click Reload.
