It has been a long time since I really felt a need to have a good mp3 player in Linux. Way back when, I used to use XMMS (I've always been, and still am, a Winamp fan). However, XMMS has apparently been removed from Gentoo and Slackware. Does that indicate impending doom?
From my understanding, XMMS has been EOLed and has been replaced with
the Beep Media Player. I could be wrong. I know that it uses all the same play lists, a lot of the skins (the ones I have tried anyway).
At any rate, I now find myself spending a great deal of time listening to music in Linux. I've been using VLC, but it has a few hangups I'm not fond of. Without any intention of starting a starting a flame war (I wouldn't normally expect such a topic to do so, but I guess you can't be too careful around here), I'm wondering if any of you are interested in shouting out your favorite music player and what you think makes it groovy.
As of late, I have started to use RhythmBox. I have really started to like the play lists they have and how easy it is to manage them. There are a few annoying things, but I have finally gotten around those. Plus the media keys on my keyboard work with it, without having to remap anything. That is always a bonus.
