| i use banshee for mp3 and playing music video files. totem for anime and other video. |
| Audacious for audio and SMPlayer for video. Before I found Audacious I went with XMMS (and Beep Media Player (Classic) for a short while, of which Audacious is a fork). With video I've almost always used mplayer, and only went with SMPlayer because it's a better frontend for it than the default one that the vanilla mplayer comes with. |
 |
| With GNOME and Xfce: -small audio player: Xfmedia (and Totem) -Jukebox-style audio player: gmusicbrowser (and Exaile) -video player: Totem (and VLC) Didn’t test KDE yet. |

HoaRy said: video: MPlayer audio: either newest audacious2 build or foobar2000 through WINE. I'd prefer foobar, but it can't either read the Japanese tags or can't access my jap. folders (with LANG=jp_JP env.); additionally it sometimes lags when using single-files. audacious2 is a bitch with cue-Sheets but supports it somehow :v Don't know any other player that supports cue-Sheets handy and at least TrueAudio as codec. It's not games or the usual bunch of software, it's foobar2000 and MPC HC + Haali that let me keep Windows <.< try banshee, i'm satisfied with the performance. yah foobar and MPC (which usually i get from K-lite mega codec pack) is must on my windows system. actually few days ago i look for media player for windows that can work just like banshee, i mean it can display artwoork nicely, decent skin (simple like foobar) not so flashy, and can read video file which i link it to my music clip folder, but i can't find better one. I've tried new winamp but feel so heavy and i don't need integrated browser, then songbird by mozilla, this one quite good but i don't know why it took long time to load >< |
| Right now I use Banshee for music playing, becouse it has a playlist generator function, if you install banshee-extension-mirage package. Listening to music choosen by my computer is fun. ^-^ But other than that I don't use any "advanced" music player functions, like last.fm syncing, or downloading info from wikipedia etc. I just want the player to start playing music, than get the hell out of the way. For movies I use two players. Totem (with all the ugly etc. gstreamer plugins from the official ubuntu repos) for most videos, becouse I like it's interface. (It reminds me of MPC from the times I used Win. d: And I like my video player and it's controls to stay in one window.) But for videos that have SSA/ASS subtitles (most anime I watch), I open them with MPlayer, becouse it can render those properly. Occasionaly if mplayer or totem does not render something properly I install vlc, play the video, then uninstall it. |

| SMPlayer and Amarok 1.4... i mean Clementine. Occasionally Exaile. |
  |
| Right now Rhythmbox for music, just because it came installed and it works. VLC for videos though. Works great =D |
vlc or banshree or movie player .  |
