    I use VLC for video and VLC/ Rhythmbox for local music, or more often, Spotify (Open) through WINE.

    Haven't tried Banshee. May give it a go now that I've finally got sound out of my left speaker. Or I might wait until I get the headphones working too. Decisions decisions!
    Save yourself..
    Try Clementine instead!

    Same here, but I grew tired of how audacious chokes on a less-than-perfect mp3. After testing many media players I settled on qmmp, which IMO has all the features of audacious, is about ten times more stable and I still get to use my favorite winamp2 skin

    edit: screenshot attached. qmmp on my netbook with my favorite winamp2 skin.

    I voted for VLC player, but I actually use different players for different purposes:

    Audacious for playing music (loads quickly and doesn't get in your way)
    Totem for generic video clips
    VLC for watching movies

    Rejoice, if you use ubuntu (or any distro that uses pulseaudio) then there's pulseaudio equalizer. Imagine everything going through the equalizer, music, youtube, movies... Clicky!

    Yes, thats right and it has an awesome sound but lateley I dont use it anymore. Its a little bit buggy and it doesnt seem that the creator is very active actually to improve some things or at least it seems so.

    Naturally I use Banshee for Music, Podcasts, Audiobooks and Video. On my phone I use Audible for Audiobooks, MIUI Player for music and well it is a phone I basically don't watch video on it.
    On strike during the Oneiric cycle due to ungratefulness of Ubuntu.

    Re: preferred media player?

    If I want to listen music while I am doing something else (programming, doing homework...) I use Rythmbox. If I want to watch a movie or listen just one song, I use Totem.

    (Plus I sometimes use my own music player, crappy, but working!)
