Try to install BeatBox music player in Ubuntu? Well, I’m here to tell you Beatbox has gone! The developer announced that he won’t take much attention on it due to lack of time. If you prefer this music player, you may go to noise.

“I’m sorry to say that BeatBox will not be seeing much attention from me at this point due to lack of time.

I’ve added elementary to the BeatBox team, which means they can merge, pull, push, whatever they want to the project. I’ve recommended that they merge parts of BeatBox. Its core and plugin API could be very useful to them, but whether or not that merge happens is up to them.” — Scott Ringwelski

BeatBox was the default music player for Elementary OS, and now it is Noise. Though there is not much of differences between Beatbox and Noise, both only differs by: Music view, Search bar, and the name of course
