4 Like the equalizerfunction which is not common in most players. Technically it works not always perfect but that could be related to my (older) hardware. Little bit heavy so i disabled most extensions, probably also due to my older hardware.

5 This indexes ALL your media files, not just your mp3s. We're talking downloaded youtube videos, m4a, flv, and avi. It's easier than ever to make automatic playlists with this. It also includes all the same features as a standard player, like radio, scrobbling, and linking to other music sources. It even runs on windews!

5 Love it! I tend to watch a lot of video podcasts, and the ability to play them in fullscreen and still have access to the playback controls by simply moving the mouse, is a win in my books. So much better than Rhythmbox in that regard!

5 Banshee (or the Celtic version Bansidhe) is a very good Music Management program. It beats Rhythmnbox and has some elements that go far beyond Amarok for musical power and catalogueing. You won't go far wrong with Banshee!

5 A very good, full featured media player, with good library management features and integration with online services, such as last.fm. For me, the fact that it depends on mono is irrelevant, and shouldnt be relevant to any new Linux user either.

5 Banshee is a fully featured multimedia library manager with some nice additions (e.g. sound equalizer, cover management) and integration with brasero for easier cd creation. Vast catalogue of plugins from community and developers to manage playlists and external devices. One of the best player around, although still a little slow when loading very big libraries on average pc.

3 I've never had much luck with this one, which is too bad because I would love to have all these freature in one application. The way I hear people rave about it I feel like it must just be me! The core function, music management has always worked well for me though.
