    Best audio quality music player for MP3 music ?

    I was wondering if anyone had an idea of the best audio quality music player for Kubuntu.

    I have performed tests with the same hardware but between Vi$ta and linux and Vi$ta has a slightly better sound quality compared to Linux.
    Id really like to say the opposite but at this time there is not a really good audio quality music player for Linux.

    So far I have tested :-

    Amarok, has very good music management tools but the equalizer is a bit limiting (not enough bands especially for higher frequencies).

    Audacious, has a good equalizer but is a bit tempermental and closes every now and then for no apparent reason. Also the music management is the standard winamp style.
    Also some of the Ladspa plug ins are really good.

    Ideally id like a graphic equalizer with at least 14 bands for adjustment.

    Is there a plug in for amarok that I could use ?
    This would be the best solution. good music management with decent audio quality.

    Also is there any music player in Linux that will use winamp plug ins for the DSP audio ?

    EDIT: i have jsut stumbled across aimp.
    Is it any good ?

    I will try later on when I am back in Kubuntu land.

    XMMS will use Winamp plugins I believe.

      I tried XMMS but I think it does not appear to support DSP plug ins.

      However I did have better luck with windows based aimp2

      Wine has really improved.

      The 14 band equalizer really helps (I like the 31 hertz adjustment too much )

      Shame amarok doesn't have 14 band equalizer !
