View Poll Results: Audio Media Player Application of the Year
Voted Audacious. Works for me with the least fuss and recognizes song titles from my obscure and my non-English language CDs.
Also good: Clementine for when I want a few more features explicitly displayed, VLC when I want both video and music capabilities handy in one application.
All but xmms are too much resource unfriendly. As xmms is unmaintained, I wrote a slimmed-down version of it in perl using GStreamer libraries years ago stat I still use every day. I don't need no frigging moving bars or fetching images from websites. The info of what is playing is more than enough. And skins are so overrated. I chose xmms
Distribution: Debian Sid AMD64, Raspbian Wheezy, various VMs

Rep:
Voted for mpd, again. It's been working consistantly and flexibly using a fair few front-end controllers for years now. It can play and broadcast internet streams and works on any machine I've tried it on.
A bugger to set up but a pleasure to use.
