Best audio player with visual appeal, audacious??


I am a newbie but with ubuntu 8.1 I am a convert from windows.

I am an avid audio listener, (classical/jazz) and enjoy listening my flac files from CD collection. I have tried rhythmbox, amarok, and now audacious.

I am impressed with visual appeal with winamp like skins on audacious. Anyone know of other players that also look good?

thanks,

gychang

I view questions like this as basically unanswerable because "look good" is a highly subjective quality. I personally use Audacious with my favorite winamp skin--simple and clean. Others like the big itunes-style playlist players like Amarok, but I can't stand all that clutter and wasted space. Still others like to go really basic and use a command-line or music daemon player. Just take your time and you'll eventually find one you prefer over all others.
