Playing Music In Linux 1.10.07

# XMMS
http://www.xmms.org/
# This is the old war horse of graphical music players on Linux

# Noatun
http://noatun.kde.org/
Another simple media player for KDE

# Amarok
http://amarok.kde.org/
# This is the player I use. In my opinion it is the most advanced player out there for Linux. Smart playlists, lyrics, album covers, tagging, information about the artists from Wikipedia, transfer music to and from digital audio players, an integrated music store (Magnatunes.com), and way more that I can't describe in the space I have.

# Juk
http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/juk.html

# Rhythmbox
http://www.gnome.org/projects/rhythmbox/
This is a decent music management program.

# Quod Libet

# Banshee
http://banshee-project.org/Main_Page
Banshee will burn selected songs onto an audio CD, supports cover art, and with plugins supports smart playlists, song recommendations through Lastfm.com, podcasts, and more. If Banshee was able to transfer music to my iPod Shuffle this is the player I'd be using, simply because it allows limiting the size of playlists based on MB.
