I like madman (madman.sf.net).  It's fast, has really nice search capabilities 
and a nifty auto-playlist feature (which I know is nifty, because I wrote 
much of it) that generates random playlists that try to cater to your 
preferences (based on song ratings and what you actually listen to; songs 
that you skip when they come on tend not to come on as much).

The only downside of madman, IMO, is that it doesn't run well on machines with 
small amounts of RAM and large music databases because it keeps a lot of 
information in memory.  That's also what makes it fast.

madman uses XMMS for the actual playback.

Check it out.

	Shawn.
