best music player for gnome?

[tgpraveen]

i am using ubuntu 7.04 and the music player that came with is pathetic to say the least.
i tried banshee and was impressed with it's plugins and all.
but still am not quite satisfied so am looking for a better music player pls suggest.

i am looking for these features in particular
multimedia key support
minimizes to taskbar
would be nic if in right click context menu option like "add to now playing list"
etc
plugins
nice interface.

keep in mind i am on gnome.

thx.

exaile is a good option.rhythmbox works fine for me.
for Music players,do research in synaptic manager and http://getdeb.net

If you use Winamp in windows, then Go for Audacious.....Best One.(In my case)

Similar Xmms or Beep Media Player.

xmms has more plugins, and even equaliser is better then winamps equaliser.
amarok sounds good even without using any plugins, interface is good and handling playlist is also easy.

is true that amarok wont work well and crash too much when used in gnome as it is made for KDE?

XMMS FTW More better options then other player

amarok ported to gtk(Gnome) is called Exaile.though amarok may work fine in Gnome.

[cynosure]

Amarok worked fine in my Ubuntu 6.06 (With KDE desktop). Never gave any error.

[tgpraveen]

i tried it on gnome in 7.04 ubuntu and it used to crash too often.

[vish786]

Amarok(Kde) == Exile(Gnome)

exaile: an amarok alternative based on gtk

[Vivek788]

well...i use totem/xmms for gnome...for kde i use both kaffeine and amarok....

[infra_red_dude]

exaile fan here one more vote for that!

[contactpraven2001]

well buddy amarok roks ......i m using it on 7.04 and it is best til so far..........

[Rahim]

Nothing comes even close to Amarok.
Exaile: well just not good enough.

[rb_kaustuv]

I vote for Exaile....

But i have used Amarok on Gnome (am on Ubuntu 7.04) and it has never crashed..

Btw what i miss in Exaile is the keyboard control of the playlist available in Amarok.i.e talking about the [Super Key]=[Combinations] of Amarok..
and well Uncle Rodney says, "10/10, Amarok is seriously super!"
