i'm surprised that this hasn't been posted already. This is available in the ubuntu repos but it won't work unless you have the devx installed (this is the later version from the debian repo), it needs certain perl things not in a normal lupu.
So using 'CDE' http://www.stanford.edu/~pgbovine/cde.html' i ran gmusicbrowser

added gstreamer plugins some extra layouts and some links to the gmusicbrowser forum.

Dear 666philb,

With kind regards,
