Exclamation MPD

MPD all the way! If not, sox play, which is seemingly missing around here... Also ogg123, Hmmm...

Anyway, Songbird should be a rocker this year. Isn't it? My wife just loves it.

I use amarok 1.3.x even though I'm on gnome. Don't like the new one from what I've seen though, once folder tracking is available on Songbird, I'm kinda inclined to switch to it.

Amarok 1.4
I voted for Amarok, but for the 1.4 version. The new 2.0 version is currently quite sucky for now.

Rhythmbox..you always need a jukebox instead of just player.
It got few less features than bunshee..but its better on performance.

Amarok. It's simply outstanding. Why, oh why does it have to be a freaking KDE app?!

Songbird, baby. Media library is organized, and iTunes has been kissed goodbye.

Can you add MOC (Music on Console) to the list?

http://moc.daper.net/

I use it almost exclusively to listen to music, and it's really nice. I almost always have a terminal window open with it, it supports playlists and playing all files in a directory.

MPD provides the best quality audio output. Couple with Sonata and you're good to go w/o needing a CPU/Memmory upgrade.

GStreamer based offerings pretty much suck at playing anything with tracks that merge into each other, e.g. classical and trance music. Enforced breaks between tracks really blow the flow of such genres for me. Else QuodLibet would make top of my short list
