    What music player do you use?

    I was using Amarok, but just installed Songbird and it's decent looking so I may switch to it.

    I second mpd, a great network music server but I use Sonata for the GUI.

    No, Rhythmbox is a complete player within itself. mpd + gmpc is the Music Player Daemon, combined with the Gnome Music Player Client (IIRC).

    Amarok is a very nice and rich.
    Most of the time though, I just use mpg123 from a terminal.

    I'm using Rhythmbox... mostly out of habit than for any idea of technical or practical superiority. It responds to the media-buttons on my laptop, which surprised me quite a bit.
