xmms is great for its plugins. I like being able to play ape, ogg, mp3,
flac, wav, and m4a files without having to transcode them first.
Unfortunately, the xmms interface has some usability issues for me (the
size of text and buttons, namely).

Since I've become a snob and only use ogg and flac formats now, I'm
really fond of muine. It's a really simple player that lets you play
albums or songs and it has a decent search feature (using tags). If you
don't tag your music files you won't like it, but if you do, and have a
tendency to move stuff around for one reason or another, it's a nice
little app.

I still use xmms to preview ape's, though.
