About Exaile.

Many people are complaining of not being able to run Exaile. I'll give a couple of suggestions that I myself haven't tried because I don't wanna fill my system with unwanted packages that I would have to track down to uninstall later since I can live with a frugal player like Totem for now.
1) Install Exaile from their site (version 0.3.2) http://www.exaile.org/downloads
There (edit) is need to compile it before install. So first of all
so you can uninstall it afterwards if you like.
I made a comprehensive list of dependencies. The downside is that since they're being manually installed, if you uninstall Exaile later, the dependencies won't be automatically removed with autoremove. They are
*If you use a non-English locale add gettext to the list above.
Then for the moodbar plugin
Then download and extract the Exaile folder, cd into it (enter it) and run sudo checkinstall.
*For a non-English locale first run make and then sudo checkinstall.
2) The errors people are getting with python-gtkmozembed was solved back in 2008 at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=721128 by installing python-gnome2-extras. The cited package is now deprecated but the person there commented that he relied on help from the Exaile forum. Nowadays they seem to use a mailing list so anyone interested could find it at http://www.exaile.org/support
