Finishing up my new Distro creation(as yet unnamed)
I built it "by hand" from grml/hag/sidux/debian-sid
and I have the regular good apps installed
audacious
aumix-gtk
stuff like that

what are really good apps if you wanted a distro for listening to music and watching video,etc??
thanks

video aint my thing, out of habbit i add smplayer.
i would add lastfm, tunapie and streamtuner, but you need to set it up (make an account for lastfm which saves some time if its allready done on a live. And set up the players for streamtuner and tunapie. i recall streamtuner is set to xmms, which aint availiable in debian no more. audacious would be fine)

alsaplayer-gtk is a nice small music-player too,like aqualung and, of course, xmms2 and moc for the commandline. but, imho, audacious is fine.

if you add gecko-mediaplayer as iceweasel-plugin gnome-mplayer comes into the bargain.

i dont use more.

OK
I'm gonna check it out

vlc, gxine and mplayer
And off course all the codecs and plugins for the browser

mplayer/smplayer, audacious, shell-fm, moc, along with the codecs and browser plugins are all you need unless you want to use an ipod then you would need amarok/rhythmnbox/exaile/songbird.
