5 Best 'Winamp classic'-like Linux media player I have used. Light and simple design, yet plenty of options/customisations possible. (All other Linux media players which I tried had 1 or 2 deal-breaking missing features). Why this isn't the default app in Linux Mint is beyond me...

5 Finally! A straightforward, totally no-BS & well equipped player that understands the multitasking environment. Simple click & play (Open) on folders, for example. Smart interface (& clean: with fancy skins for those who dig party pants). Super stable. Should be default.

3 The Equalizer could really be improved. The lowest, 31Hz reall? My headphones go 15Hz and I really like to feel it rumble, so 31hz sounds no good when boosted. Also, what you see in the picture of Software Manager is not what you get. It doesn't come pretty but probably skinable.

5 Love it! Very familiar Winamp interface (can be switched to GTK look), just does what you want, lightweight, and Winamp skinnable. No more those imposing, unintuitive, bloaty audio player for me. My second choice would be Decibel, but I use this more because of its integration with Cairo-dock.
