Rhythmbox
gNewSense comes with Rhythmbox by default. This section describes how to use it.
Audio CD
After inserting your audio CD, Rhythmbox should have open its main window automatically. If not, go to Applications -> Sound & Video -> Rhythmbox Music Player.
Encoded music
To listen to encoded music with Rhythmbox, open it: Applications -> Sound & Video -> Rhythmbox Music Player. Go to Music -> Import Folder or Music -> Import File, select your music location and you're done.

sudo -s
Then synchronize local and remote software lists:
apt-get update
And install audacious:
apt-get install audacious
Then run it: Applications -> Sound & Video -> Audacious.
