I'm looking for a Gnome player that has track enqueuing similar to Amarok. That is, when I click on a song, it is queued to the bottom of the playlist. Playback isn't paused, and it doesn't skip to the newly added track.
I was unable to make Rhythmbox act this way, and Banshee has a bug that enqueues first track after the current and the rest at the bottom. The only Gnome player with this behavior I found is Audacious, but I would like something with more Amarok-like (or Rhythmbox-like)interface. Any suggestions?

u can use amarok in Gnome, so if you like its functionality why don't u just install Amarok ?

The Listen player ('listen' under the repo's) has the functionality you're looking for, although it's not enabled by default. It's by far my favourite music player.

If I am not wrong, in Rhytmbox you 'can' enqueue songs.
Right click on any song from your list, and select "Add to play queue".
Is this function is working for you, or you were expecting some other function?

Thank you all for your replies. As for Amarok, I used it before, but Gnome program start up more quickly, and Amarok was recently upgraded to KDE4 so it looks nothing like Gnome, and apparently some functionality is gone(?). I don't think it is a viable solution to install and older version manually.
As for rhythmbox, I actually did manage to get it to enqueue songs, but I was unable to drag & drop files to reorder them in playlist, and it was more library oriented than I would have liked.
I will give Listen a try, it seems like a good candidate.

There is a good python-plugin for nautilus and Rhythmbox that does this by both adding the file to the library (which is required for enqueue to work) and then enqueues the file.
