Some players support both the GStreamer and xine back-ends. |

Introduction
<<Anchor(frameworks)>>
A Word on Back-ends and Front-ends
Ubuntu offers a wide range of multimedia applications through its Main, Universe, and Multiverse repositories. To help you choose the most suitable music player or video editor, it is useful to differentiate between the media players themselves (or ‘front-ends’) and the playback engines (the ‘back-ends’) they use. The front-ends are the applications that you interact with on your desktop. Some are tightly integrated with the three desktop environments, GNOME, Xfce, and KDE; others are platform-independent. Whilst some applications, such as MPlayer and XMMS, use their own playback engines, others make use of the two most popular back-ends, the GStreamer and xine frameworks. Some players support both the GStreamer and xine back-ends. Your choice will thus depend on the right combination of features, performance, choice of media formats, preferred desktop environment, and personal preference. This page describes the most popular front-ends: media players, music and video editors, podcast and streaming applications. For more information on GStreamer, xine and the (free and non-free) media formats they support, see RestrictedFormats. <<Anchor(about)>>
This Wiki Page
This page seeks to direct users to software most suited to their needs. It is grouped into three sections: applications used primarily for music, for video, and for editing, as well as a miscellaneous section. While, for example, some apps labeled as “music player” will play video as well, if their primary use is for music playback, they will be classified as such. Feel free to add your favorite media player to the list if you wish. <<Anchor(music)>>
