I just want a nice basic, yet intuitive, audio play with the following features -
Playlists
Browser feature
Thats actually about it. Something nice and lightweight that does what i want it to do and not much else. Give me a few to try out (as lightweight as possible please) :D Thank you,

You might look at Audacious. It does not create a music database. You add files by browsing to your music directories. Loads and saves playlists. Similar to classic Winamp 2.xx - I use it.
The default skin is not that attractive - Refugee looks better and comes with it. Aucacious also uses any classic Winamp skins.

I have tried audacious before and whilst liking it i find its interface very small and awkward to use

You can make it a lot bigger with the option of "scale" in the "view" menu.
I also found it quite unusable at the default size on a larger resolution monitor, so always use scale.

I have used the scale option but i do still find the buttons awkward. Any other help?

By the way when i said browser feature i meant that i could browse by artist/album etc. Is that possible in audicious?

No...it works like WinAmp or XMMS (from which it derives). No music database (library) is created by the program to browse.
