Rhythmbox: http://www.gnome.org/projects/rhythmbox

Can't recommend it highly enough. The interface does exactly what it
should, without all that nonsense common in many mediaplayers of
having 10px buttons and wonky metallic-shaded skins. Also has a fast
search, and good plugins for things like last.fm, lyrics,
visualizations, etc.
