Remember, media player usually covers audio and video. Thanks! |
I use mplayer, and rarely xine.

Thank you H_TeXMeX_H. |
I use VLC for video and Audacious for audio.
|
Even I prefer media players that do not use too much resourses - I use mp3blaster and even pogo for audio. Xine is another one of the better video players but I must say vlc player here as it has the capacity to play anything thrown at it. I do not use the _latest_ version though. I prefer the default one that comes with debian 0.8.6. The bleeding edge vlc player is run as windows executable in wine :).

For videos, MPlayer, or more specifically, Gnome MPlayer. Never had a problem with it so far on any of my setups, and it plays everything I throw at it.
For audio, I use Rhythmbox. I'm not really a huge music lover, so it does everything I need. I tend to listen to audio-books (.m4b) more than music, but I'm not aware of an app that would handle them any better than RB. |
I bet nobody suggests Totem! Parole is one I only found the other day, and it's not bad, but Gnome MPlayer is my usual.
|
MPlayer in the lead. Very interesting.
|
I like VLC, mostly because I have never come across a format it won't play.
|
I use VLC almost exclusively. I did use amarok only for audio, but VLC seems to cover all the bases for me.
|
vlc/mplayer for video xmms for audio
|
mplayer does all the job with very neat keyboard controls. So there is no need of any other player.

Actually, I like Totem. I've found it very stable and reliable, moreso than Xine.
Nevertheless, I've found myself making VLC the default on my computers because of its versatility. |
