Rob,
If you're a KDE person, you can try amarok:
http://amarok.kde.org/
It's the type of play with lots of features, some would say too many, from
orgainizing music in a database (SQLite or mySQL) to fading the music out
when you press the stop button (you can turn this off).
Disclaimer: my main music box is a HTPC which runs mythmusic.
