Amarok vs Banshee vs Songbird

Well at the request of a large out the next post in Galician, dammit! The idea was to get the post in 2 languages, but ....... is a lot of work.

Today's post that I was testing out different music players, because I was using Amarok (but roughly player I've worn away) but is quite heavy, so I looked for some replacement that was more or less decent . And they told me to try looking for Banshee (Thanks Jose), a player with Amarok wave but not so cool, and I found Songbird, this is based on the Firefox interface or something, is kind of weird lol. I commented that the most important for me to have a global key players are, because I have zero desire to alt-tabeando every time I want to change the subject.

First I show a photo of each so the look: Amarok
:

Banshee:


Songbird:

now test performance of each one performing a song (I have a Celeron M 1.73MHz and 1GB of RAM):
Amarok: Using Processor: 2 to 6% Memory: 17 / 24 Mb
Banshee: CPU usage: 5 to 12% Memory: 33 / 37 Mb
Songbird: CPU usage: 6 to 14% Memory: 22 / 26 Mb

The ram changes were due to change songs, and there ascended the processor a lot at all, so we are in it.
Here is a picture of the System Monitor if you do not believe me (Do not ask why the firefox is spending like 100 Mb of RAM I have like 12 tabs open, it is a brothel, and when you take the photo and Amarok was playing others not):

Conclusions:
Amarok:

• the end turned out to be the lightest of the 3.
• It has the most features, there are lots of things to configure.
  
• is very fast, loading the complete list of tracks in 2 kicks.
• would suit any theme or something to improve the image, which is not the most beautiful out there.
• can be minimized to the tray, which is re fucked up comfortable that no more.
  

Banshee:

• After Amarok is what brings more features.
• is the heaviest and the most ugly, hahaha.
• also be minimized to the tray.
  

Songbird:

• The interface is incredible, is very fascist.
• finish in the average resources consumed, is a bit heavier than Amarok, but very little.
• does not offer many options, it lets you enable global keys, but I do not walked so clueless.
• This can not be minimized to the tray, but there is a plugin for windows nomas, we will have to see. Ahi

have people, if in doubt try it yourself.
