This reminds me of a story, but this is neither the time nor the
place.[1]

You appear to be accessorising your Volvo with a mixture of Cadillac
and Buick interior fixtures.

I do not mean to suggest that you should not do so. You should do you,
by all means.

"Be yourself", as they say, helpfully. (But where is the HOWTO?)

There is a package called rhythmbox that you might want to examine, to
see if it fits your needs. I have not used it in many many years, and
it was never my cup of tea, but IIRC it is a media player which
resembles a GNOME analogue of iTunes.

Good luck with your project.

NOTES

1. Once upon a time (a decade ago) my sole personal computing device
was an iMac running OS X.

I began to entertain myself with philosophical conundrums, like
whether iTunes was

   i. a snitch with an ostentatious media-player tacked on,

or whether it were instead

   ii. an ostentatious media-player with a snitch grafted onto it.

Eventually I forsook philosophy and decided to do something nice for
myself, for a change. I launched a savage guerilla campaign,
committing a series of acts of targeted sabotage and insurrectionary
vandalism upon my local iTunes instance.

That is what I did for Science, for Man, and for all that is Holy.

But for myself, as I was saying, I installed VLC.

Thus began a long and fruitful relationship that has continued to this
day.
