Thanks for the alternative recommendation (have read enough 'foobar' and the one beginning with x 'recommendations') but I guess the file size is a little off-putting! I'll stick with my old old Winamp installation Wow… 40mb!

All nice lightweight but good players. audacious is a nice player for linux which is a little smaller, based on xmms (winamp 2x clone)

Amarok is cool but the download size keeps me away from it. I use Gnome and installing Amarok means 40 mb download. Banshee is better, It is only 2 mb and looks like Amarok. Exaile and Listen are nice too. Though Rhythmbox fits for most. Did you read about Mr Shuttleworth's demand for prettier Linux as compared to Macs? I love Gnome's simplicity. Here is the article. Do read it. http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/07/23/ubuntu-founder-mark-shuttleworth-we-can-surpass-apple-in-two-ye/1#c13327645 Hi Cheryl!

It rules for my needs since I can't tag (what's the meaning of tags written in kanji when you can't read them?) and I can still search on filename/foldername thanks to the quick search plugin. And the advanced controls plugin, which put controls in the system tray, fills my other special need. I don't ask anything more, except for the batch replay gain. amarok, in the other side, looks very complete, but very big too. the lightweigth foobar will suit me probably better.

I doubt it will convert me from Foobar, though. I’ll try it out when it’s easy to install on Windows. I doubt it will convert me from Foobar, though.
