I find Audacious and/or VLC really simple to use. Both will play a CD. Audacious takes playlists if you got 'em but individual files work fine as well (Audacious creates a temporary playlist for you).

I agree with Audacious, great little player IMHO.

I prefer smplayer (front end for mplayer), mostly for its simplicity.

Hope you find something you like.

Cheers

Audacious can be skinned with those tiny WinAmp skins!

I did use winamp in the past for web radio broadcasting, together with oddcast (and later edcast). It was a nice player, however it has been acquired by another software company and it went towards the bloat ware path, so I stopped using it.

Slightly off-topic but the last good non-bloated (and as far as I know, malware-free) version of WinAmp is still available for download if you still have a Windows computer. http://forums.winamp.com/showthread.php?t=373755

On Linux side, I find xmms to be the best WinAmp replacement. Qmmp is also very good, too, I liked the improvements made to it, but it has crashed on a couple songs where xmms hasn't crash on any of the songs.
