mplayer. I'd sooner use mplayer than xine.
amarok ==> Even worse than xine. It's a Windows Media Player wannabee
bloated frontend that ends up launching xine. In addition to building
xinelib, it also builds kde-base, ruby, and a bunch of other junk.
I think you want audacious, which seems to be xmms painted white and
actively maintained.
I would second that.
I have not tried xine, but dislike the "size" of amarok. Audacious
builds quickly and plays mp3s - and thats all I need!
Incidentally xmms and audacious both seem to sound cleaner than amarok too.
