Comment 13 for bug 160565

First of all hello world.

I just moved from windows to linux, to be more accurate Debian Lenny. As a totally new user to linux, when I saw the raw desktop Debian had, the big icons of the GUI (gnome) and sort of things I felt I made a mistake right away. The first thing I did was get the packages I needed to use the iceweasel and youtube, so I could at least listen music. After I got more confident with Debian, I started downloading music and when I played it, the default player was the rythmbox. At first, the ipodish look and ways made me fell in love, but after some experience with it, I must say I ended up disapointed. I haven't lost hope on linux cause it seems communities work fast on solving problems.

My point of view on this subject (the volume control lag), as a noob computer user, is the same as Craig. Well, to be honest I felt that it was even poorly developed. Also as a noob, forgive me for including in this post other issues that I consider any desktop user might find quite poorly designed: playlist window not merging with the player window, the lack of a repeat track option, the almost inexistent preferences (poor variety of options), no equalizer!!!, and I don't know if it is because I'm noob or if its the cap of the rythmbox, but the max volume seems a joke to me (probably I'm the noob in this one that needs to learn how to config a computer).

Well, that's all I can say. BTW the last post I see is dated 02-24-09 and maybe all things I cry about were resolved and I'm the one running and older version. The version I have is the 0.11.6. May someone confirm if it is the last version available?

Ty and sorry is I said something noobish
