I use to love Amarok back in the 1.4.x days, but after Amarok messed everything up with 2.0, I swore it off and wrote my own XMMS2 client. Clementine wasn't out yet and I decided that the only way to get something that I wouldn't hate would be to write it myself.

These days I just use zsh and mplayer though. Apparently all of my use-cases sum up to "play one or more albums, perhaps shuffling them first". I've given Clementine a shot, and it is quite like Amarok use to be, but now it all seems like clutter.

Another vote for Clementine. Nice, clean audio player, with the right number of features.

That's my favourite too. Only thing missing for me is mpd support but that is maybe not an everyday requirement.

Clementine is great, but I sometimes wish they could implement some scripting/plugin mechanism somehow .
