    Recommend me a media player!

    Hello there. Just set up Kubuntu, and am still trying to get the hang of it. One thing that I really need, however, is a good media player.

    I loved Winamp 5 a lot. I'd like something equivilent to that. All I know of is "Beep Media Player" and "XMMS". Both look quite similar to winamp, but behave differently. I don't like XMMS's menus. Beep has potential, but still lacks a few things


    I'm looking for:
    +simple, minimalistic, oldschool winamp layout
    +ability to play music, as well as video(and does a good job of it)
    +has a tray icon

    So what I want is either a media player that has all that, or a way to configure beep to behave like that.

    Hi,

    Did you try vlc ?

    My choices:
    music = xmms (extremely powerful with jack support)
    video = kaffeine (or mplayer)

      I use Amarok (good for large collections because of filtering) and Totem (or kaffeine) and mplayer for streaming content in Firefox.
