There are many audio players for Linux, but many of them have something lacking, such as the absence of something as important as an equalizer. A very good one is Amarok, the player on which the great application is based Clementine who has been updated to version 1.3.0. This new version has arrived after a whole year of development, but it has not yet made it to Ubuntu's default repositories.
Clementine is a music player inspired by Amarok 1.4, but that is available for Linux, Windows and Mac. The application includes smart and dynamic lists, support for CUE sheets, podcasts (to discover and download) and can convert music to .mp3 and other formats, in addition to many other functions such as integration with many online services such as Spotify, Soundcloud, Jamendo, Icecast, Magnature, Box, Dropbox, Google Drive and OneDrive. And what I like the most, it includes lyrics and artist information. Who gives more?
How to install Clementine 1.3.0
Although I am not in favor of adding repositories to update software that works well, I prefer to wait for the official ones to be added, you can install Clementine 1.3.0 adding your repository, which is achieved by opening a Terminal and typing the following command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:me-davidsansome/clementine
Once added, the repositories can be updated with the command sudo apt-get update and install it, but I would recommend launching the application Software update, since it would detect the update automatically and it seems easier to me. If you don't have Clementine installed yet, you can install it either from the Software Center of your distribution or with the command:
sudo apt-get install clementine
