Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Rhythmbox or Music Player

[Andre Meyer <a meyer hccnet nl>]

"Rhythmbox Music Player" sounds great, both juicy and intuitive! Just 
don't call it rb.

"Winamp" was very succesful* without an "intuive" name. A name needs to 
be clear AND juicy. Otherwise, people don't understand what it is good 
for and/or forget its name. Too generic a name leads to invisibility. 
"Music Player" can be any player, who cares...

kind regards
Andre


*Though I use the *Quintessential Player* <http://www.quinnware.com/> 
(http://www.quinnware.com/) when I need to use Windows Take a look, it's 
pretty cool
