What do we all use as media players?

russ0r · 25 Jul 2010 at 18:43

As title really. I'm after a few suggestions as I haven't used Linux as a desktop in a year or so. Preferably KDE based.
I've tried foobar2000 (it's awesome under Windows) but by the time I've got all my extensions and bits running it is dog slow under wine.
Amarok is too bloated.
I'm about to try Songbird.

What do you lot use?

Rythmbox for me.

MPD + Ario for music, SMPlayer for videos, same as above with using VLC for when SMPlayer occasionally falls over.

I even use SMplayer on windows

I just found exaile which looks like it's going to be my player of choice for now. Pretty close to fb2000.

I use guayadeque and deadbeef for music , Smplayer for video.

SMN · 27 Jul 2010 at 07:04

VLC here as well, despite the abuse it gets over in the windows forums.

When I had Ubuntu installed I used Rhythmbox and VLC. But im currently using windows 7 due to lack of decent ati graphics card support. I installed winamp earlier and I hate it already.

Fedora 13 works ok but like you say theres no 3d.

Spotify for music.
VLC for vids.

EDIT:
Oops, I clicked new posts and didn't notice this is the linux forum.

At the minute Exaile, but mainly because it's the default one in Peppermint. I'm happy with pretty much every music player on Linux so i'll use whatever's there... apart from Alsaplayer, which i couldn't get to work.
