Re: [orca-list] my issue with rhythmbox

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

Well, I jumped off the windows     trainwreck ltd in mid 2010, and 1 of 
the first programs I started using was rhythmbox as it came on the 
distro I was using as my primary OS then by default. This was Vinux3.0 
for those who care...

Anyway, I've tried quite a few media players over the years since then, 
some that are rather limited in functionality, both actual and intended, 
and others that do, or at least try to do just about everything. 
Rhythmbox has a good set of features and functions when it comes to 
audio playback, streaming, etc;and goodies can be added via plug-ins. 
Sadly from day 1 right up to the last time I fired it up it has been 
both at least a little sluggish, and sometimes controls did not respond. 
Add the not always intuitive to me interface and or tricky to get to 
using orca controls and I have pretty much given up on rhythmbox as a 
first line program.

I guess I've installed it on around half of the 
machine/distro/release/instances I've had my grubby paws on over the 
years, but I mostly have it there either to test drive its latest 
version with current orca, or as a backup in case something goes badly 
wrong with my trusted/go-to mediaplayers, podcatchers and taggers.

Perhaps some things can be done to improve performance adding some 
scripts to orca or something like that, but I think unless the rhythmbox 
devs get involved and put usability with orca high up on their to do 
list that most of us are better off using other programs.
