The default music player on Debian 7.0 is Rhythmbox. At the first look, it appearance seems not so bad. Although it has the problem of displaying Chinese characters, this can is solved by changing the Exec line in /usr/share/applications/rhythmbox.desktop:

Exec=env GST_ID3_TAG_ENCODING=GBK Rhythmbox%u

Still, this player cannot play the lossless ape format normally although it's claimed it can. This are due to some bugs in the GStreamer codec. Then, audacious comes to my rescue, which is a descendant of XMMS. Its codec for playing ape file is Monkey Audio codec. With the default configuration in audacious, it sound quality is worse than VLC. Therefore, we need to enable some plugins and the equalizer of audacious to finely adjust their sound effect.

The Enabled plugins are:

    • Crystalizer:effect intensity is set to 2.1.

    • Echo:delay is 176 ms, feedback are 28%, volume is 24%.

    • Extra stereo:effect intensity is 2.1.

The equalizer can load some presets based on Winamp. However, the Presets can be loaded only if audacious is using Winamp Classic interface instead of GTK interface. The Equalizer presets is stored in the file ~/.config/audacious/eq.preset with its contents as follows:
