Ubuntu – Are there any good music mixers available, equivalent to Windows “MP3 Tunes”

musicmusic playersoftware-recommendation

In Windows my dad used to have a program called MP3 Tunes. I have tried running it with Wine, and it worked. But strange things kept happening to the program, so it's not a reliable way to play music.

Basically I just want to have 2 players (in a single window) with these features:

  • Preloading tracks in a player without immediately starting them.
  • Fading from one track to the other.
  • A timer on each player.

These features are also desired, but not required:

  • Microphone input.
  • Prelistening before loading a song in a player (through a seperate sound card).
  • Pitch/Tempo control.
  • Just being able to browse folders in the filesystem (without things like a music library).

Here are some screenshots of the program to clarify what I'm looking for:
MP3 Tunes v2 (v1 was much better)
