The blogger fails to notice the difference between a music player/manager and an audio player.

The audio player plays audio files, that's it while the music player manages music/allows playlist and whatnot.

And I thought the controversy was that Decible was written in JavaScript/GJS and not that the blogger is an idiot with a blog.

Now, picture a new Linux user deciding to try GNOME for the first time or choosing a distribution that offers a vanilla GNOME experience. One of the first things they’ll likely do is test the multimedia capabilities. They double-click on an audio file, and… well, that’s what I’d call a disappointing introduction to Linux

Actually its not disappointing at all, the audio plays just like the user would expect.
