Not to jump of the Audacious-bandwagon but when I use my Linux machine<br>
[sorry to say, it's now rare] I use it, too. I like it because it reminds me<br>
a lot of Winamp [no hating please] and it played my first mp3 in Linux. :P<br>
<br>
It's got a fair amount of TLC going for it, too; audio format support,<br>
plug-ins, community, etc. If you haven't given it a shot yet, I think it's<br>
worthwhile cause.<br>

if you just want a 'play this directory' player (like I do), audacious<br>
is a fork of xmms. I'm not sure of it's transcoding abilities<br>
<br>
I'll never understand going from 'play this directory' (xmms) to 'we<br>
need a full client/server paradigm for playing audio' (xmms2). I get<br>
the idea of a whole-house playback system, but it seems you could have<br>
made xmms the front-end to xmms2-server (or whatever) /rant<br>
