I've deliberately avoided getting into the fine details of audio quality, because this can be overwhelming for the average (non-audiophile) user.
Best-audio-quality configuration is discussed at length in the Music Player Daemon threads -

Now that you have asked, here are the basics: roughly speaking, sound quality depends on
1) the ability of the playback application, operating system and hardware driver to process the PCM audio data without changing it - such that the processing chain is bit-perfect.
2) the ability of the operating system and playback application to present the PCM audio data to the hardware device with a bare minimum of digital jitter (timing accuracy).

1) is relatively easy to achieve in Linux - just disable the "dmix" function of ALSA, and its audio processing will then be bit-perfect. Here's how - create a new document in Geany with this -

Weighing in at 26K this music app is great for minimal distros. It can
also stream internet radio stations.

Does anyone happen to know of a "directory player" comparable to the Windows program 1by1 (by the maker of mp3directcut)?
And yes, I know it works in Wine.
There is/was a plugin for deadbeef called "directory browser" or something, but it won't advance to another folder once it has played everything in a directory.
And there was a little program posted on QT-apps, but I couldn't get it to work (I think because it only works via some QT multimedia framework which expects the files in one particular folder and which I haven't got working on my machine).

Disciple, DB (v0.6.2) multiple directory play and advancement works for me aboard Tahr-605.

You've got which version aboard which pup?

Thank you Darkcity a very cool wiki entry - looks great thank you.

Mistfire intends to provides XFCE mixer for his (numerous) passengers..
Caution : keep your Slim XFCE ... Slim ! Well this mixer is not a lot of MBs... GO ! Geoffrey offers necessary pets.
X-Slacko Slim is Low-cost, but not Low-Quality... Useless stuff withdrawn is replaced by nice applications, perhaps unknown by most of you.
Audacious : our french disk-jockey Medor has a version 3.7.2 available in his suitcase, for his Slaxen. Ask him if he would agree on sharing it with you..

Ten years after Pelo is the first passenger to feed-back that Jampa works very well, not rusted
Jampas is forgotten in 'unsorted' section. Click the blues 'Ten Years After', in fact only seven years have passed.
Why : passengers want music players, Devs produce Puppies and puppies with always the same Gnome-Mplayer. or pMusic. They are not bad. But some 'walks on the wild side' would enjoy people.
