I would like something better, too. I've just been using XMMS, which is convenient because it has the automatic JACK output plugin. But it is ugly as hell. The stupid fixed bitmap size is about the size of my thumb on my high res LCD, so I have to always run in double size, with all the fonts bumped up as well. It is somewhat buggy and unstable as well. (Though it crashes less often and opens more file types with less effort on my part than the few other programs I have tried.) I am looking at the ones you listed. Are they much more beta, though? I want something that doesn't crash, has a GUI that works on more than just the developer's screen, can play all file types effortlessly and... well... is easy to use. I guess that's too much to ask for a linux app...
