Well , I vote for banshee -the best for me. has everything i need and some nice features
Windows works in 80 % cases, Linux in 20%, but you can make linux work in other 80% cases whilst you can never make windows work in last 20%

I'm on kde and using banshee =/ amarok doesnt cut it for me yet, especially since it has no equalizer

I use mpd in my desktop (that's usually more like a server) and control it with sonata from my laptop, for local files I use audacious.
Offline
banshee-git from AUR, even better
Offline
mpd/Ario is my mix, though I'd admit Ario is not the most pretty is does what i need

goggles music manager, my new favorite

NOT Rythmbox. IMHO It sucks. Amarok is pretty good. Banshee is even better.

Cat.
Close second is rhythmbox, personally. Never explored too much though, after trying amarok in KDE.

I run foobar2000 in wine. Nothing else is even close, unfortunately.
I used mpd + sonata for about six months, but it can't seem to sort music in a sane way so I had to give it up. But if you were happy with the minimal sorting capabilities of rhythmbox, mpd with some client (I'd recommend sonata) should certainly suffice.

while i agree that banshee is a pretty neat player, it has no last.fm radio support anymore... and that isnt going to change soon. As a paying last.fm customer that is a needed feature for me.
So i continue to use amarok until mpds implemetation of last.fm radio is finished (Its working already, but stops after every song)

Quodlibet comes to mind...

I'm searching for a good player/organizer right now...
MPD is really great, but graphical frontends are good only for listening music, and not for organizing my collection.
I have found both exaile and quodlibet are great, except that they cannot play to specified audio device, only to default one.
I have 2 soundcards (alsa) and I don't want youtube, games, films, etc. to be played via my professional soundcard, but audio player have to play via it.
Can anyone suggest me something? TNX.

Well you might try exaile then. It aims to be somewhat similar to amarok but both use a different approach for managing the playlist than rhythmbox does.
+1 for exaile.

Way to bump an 'oldish' thread.
Try Pulseaudio, for an easier 'redirect to card' experience. Try modifying .asoundrc if you're masochistic.

mpd + ncmpcpp
"MPD + ncmpcpp" is my absolute favorite so far. I use ossv4 and it's the best my music has ever sounded on Linux.
I've also tried:
banshee
exaile
bmp
audacious
listen
rhythmbox
vlc
banshee does work very nicely with my iriver T-30 (crappy old music device). It detects my device the minute I plug in the usb, and it's easy to drag and drop music files into.

Nah, it's got nothing.

Exaile. It's a lightweight Amarok.

1+ banshee-git
The best tool for organizing my Zen Micro with MTP firmware. Also good for managing Podcast and Radio
Tip
The current banshee-git package copied the banshee logo not to /usr/share/pixmaps. The result is that when Banshee is minimised to the panel you habe a red cross instead of the Logo. The Banshee logo must be copied by hand, unzip the logo out of the created package (/usr/share/icons/hicolor/192x192/apps/media-player-banshee.png) and copied to the pixmaps folder.

Exaile is FTW! Also google's music manager (gmm) is pretty good too, but it's not a GTK app (it uses the fox toolkit, which is very light, but it might not bledn in very well with your theme. It's definitely at least worth trying though)
