I've reinstalled Arch with Gnome, before I was using Rhythmbox because I used to be a Ubuntu user and Rhythmbox is its default music player, this time I want to try something different, so can anyone suggest a music player for me? It does not need to be bleeding edge, but it should have more or less the same features as Rhythmbox. I heard Amarok is a good one, but I don't want to use Qt based applications in Gnome.
Thanks!

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.

Hello
You can use Audacious/2 (Version 2 is in AUR)
Sonata
Exaile
That's must be GUI player?

Exaile is my favourite music player... wonderful if you have a large collection that you want to keep organised.
The software required Windows XP or better, so I installed archlinux.

Songbird
I hate the songbird devs since i asked them why oss4 does not work while it is working just fine with gstreamer (and songbird is gstreamer based)
Their answer was: we dont support obscure setups, get pulse-audio... bye bye songbird.
anyway: gmpc is a great frontend for mpd, quodlibet and gmusicbrowser are both brilliant too...

I've always used exaile/audacious on gnome.

But it looks great though, but I guess I understand what ur saying.

@Olnex If you didn't get the underlying message: there is no "best music player for gnome". There's only the "best music player" that works for you. And there is only one way to find that out, i.e. try everyone of them until you find the one that suits you most.

I use the exaile-beta and like it quite a bit. I am an amarok fan but don't like haivng to load a ton of libraries just for one application.

Sonata is pretty nice. It has a really clean and simple interface.

If you don't fear mono, maybe banshee is for you.

I'm backing Songbird; it is still early days but I reckon it is worth a look (& a listen)...
