Media...

I use amaroK and VLC. I like them because they are easy to use, and they...well...work.
To rip from CD, I like Grip.

There are alot of projects witch try to turn linux in a media player.

Some of most wel known are MythTv and Freevo

They come as pachages, if you plan to use your computer ONLY as a media center then there are a lot of people who suggest to use Ubunto as a distro.
