I want a music player that can't play video or show photos. I don't have any other requirements.
Are there any music players that fit my description?

Possibly a duplicate question? Does any of the suggestion here help? askubuntu.com/questions/8444/stupid-simple-music-player– fossfreedom ♦May 18, 2011 at 19:41

looking them up right now, some of them I've already declined but some look promising like deadbeef. Deadbeef almost cut it, but the lists are too hard to easily use.– AlvarMay 18, 2011 at 19:58

Could you explain why do you want a music player that can't play videos or show photos?– Lukas StejskalAug 10, 2011 at 9:08

@LukasStejskal A player that plays video awesome is VLC but if you want to listen to music, then it doesn't work. you don't have a library or any other function that you think is standard! IF we take Itunes it has a library and is very easy to use and have all the functions you need. But when you try and play video it's just horrible to use. That's why I just want a player to do one thing awesome! instead of everything mediocre.– AlvarAug 10, 2011 at 11:20

@Alvar I see. Yeah, I also prefer if a program does one thing and does it right. While it doesn't meet your requirements, I use mplayer both for movies and music, and I think it's awesome for both purposes :). Cons: no GUI by default, it runs from console (which suits me, but might not work for everyone).– Lukas StejskalAug 10, 2011 at 11:58

Foobnix is similar to DeadBeef (both are clones of foobar2000), and you might like it more.

Actually it seems to play also the audio of a video file, but just the audio, not the picture ;)

2A tip: the installation will ask you to enable

For me nothing comes close to Guayadeque. And even though it has lots of features, it can't play video or show photos and probably it never will.
Install via the terminal with:
sudo apt-get install guayadeque

Sub Sonic
One of the best arguments why you should use subsonic is that you can stream music to any client that you want you just have to create your own subdomain like (http://yourname.subsonic.org) and your off.
It's a music player that is easy to use and can be remote managed outside the network. It's coded in Java and supports a lot of platforms! :)
