Exaile is a free software audio player for Unix-like operating systems that aims to be similar to KDE's Amarok, but based on the GTK+ toolkit instead of the Qt toolkit Amarok uses. It is written using pygtk (previously wxPython). It also uses the GStreamer multimedia platform for audio playback, and the Mutagen library for reading and writing track metadata. A patch to make Exaile run under Windows is already done, but official porting using GTK+ and GStreamer under Windows is currently under development.
