So you thought Amarok was the “only thing worth considering”? Think again.

Enter Tomahawk.

I recently came across Leo Franchi’s blog post and discovered a brilliant new music player. Its not yet packaged for Ubuntu, as some of the libraries still need packaging – hopefully we can have it sorted in time for Oneiric.

I’m not going to repeat his blog post – you can go read it yourself or take a look at the tomahawk website. However, in the short time I have had to play with this, its impressed me immensely. It allows sharing of music and playlists with friends through twitter and jabber, as well as music discovery through the same means. You can scrobble to last.fm, and loads more – I’m still finding the features out :)

In anycase, its cross platform, available for Linux, Windows and Mac and a Android player is “being worked on” (So Ive been told).

If you want to help out with development or just have a question, feel free to join us on IRC – #tomahawk on freenode

See you there!
