Best music player for Linux???

I have tried out loads. My favourite so far is songbird if it wasn't for the fact that its such a hog. I am looking for something with loads of features and is stable, user friendly and lightweight. Anyone have any recommendations. I do think songbird is the one to look out for but its too early just yet and it needs a bit…

Did this used to be called something else? Looks just like winamp. May give it a spin. Having a few issues with amarok on my work machine.

XMMS, which was forked as BMP and Audacious (I'm not sure if Audacious forked directly from BMP or XMMS) and a Winamp 2 clone.

I would have to say Banshee. And if any of you mono haters don't like it that's fine by me.

But why I like it...

iPod Support, plays midi files, plays all the standard codecs. (I use Mplayer for the rest)

Shouldn't every media player on your system play every codec you have installed?
I don't think I've ever seen a media player that couldn't play some of my files, but I don't go in for very exotic codecs in general I suppose.
