I usually use Muine or XMMS.

Has anyone noticed that XMMS can play songs louder than Muine, and actually sounds better? Or am I going mad? I like Muine for its clean UI and play lists. But XMMS does sound better, in my view at least. (Using 320kbps .ogg's)

I'm just curious but what is the bitrate on those files?  I have 5212 files and it's 25.5 GB.

Juk, if you want a real player / kinda itunes type of app, the only one i've found so far that has a library feature. It was included in my suse 9.1 dvd,but i think it is part of all later distro's

I installed dropline - gnome, and it came with beep, so I've been using it, but I can't seem to get it to play WMA files, I downloaded the source for the wma plugin, and used checkinstall to make a slackware package for it, and installed it, and it shows up on the plugins list, but it still won't actually play .wma's. (which is a problem for me, because I have a bunch of them, my media collection isn't in any specific media type.)

In case you need a cli-based player, try mpd (musicplayerdaemon) and mpc (...client.)

If you need a graphical frontend, be it web-based or gtk, mpd will play nicely with any of these

While the network-stream is one helluva great feature (think: web-based control throughout the house while entertaining guests,) local playback works splendidly.

I use rhythmbox currently, but the truth is. All music players for linux are lacking. In fact most music players for every platform are lacking. The best media player I have ever used was winamp. And xmms is not an entire clone. I want a media player tha ports over the winamp library. That is the best program ever. So if anyone happens to have the source code for the winamp library(like say a certain ex-nullsoft president :whistle: ).....

Can anyone recommend me a player that has an automatic volume equalizer, like wmp10?

In wmp10 you just add files to your library, enable the volume equalizer and all mp3 then have roughly the same volume, ideal :)

Important feature for me, but I dont believe Ive seen such a player for linux just yet :( (may very well be that Im blind though)

AmaroK all the way, baby!

If you like Media Player 9/10, iTunes and most other Windows players you'll love this.

Add them package sources should work, if not check www.ubuntuforums.org because someone definately will of wanted to use this.
