What is a good free audio/music player for Linux?

[Mafishioso]

Now I no that there are a hand full of media players for linux, but I want one capable of plying music more like Itunes, I want it to have an equalizer and to have an option to right click or do something so that the song i have selected will play next, and so on, I want one that is more of a professional one if you get were i'm going.

This question is not well suited for this forum, a good forum to post/search would be http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=334 . That being said I like totem for gnome, it's not as flashy as itunes, but many times faster. It can also stream videos from youtube and you can get plugins to support many filetypes. Many linux users use Amarok (http://amarok.kde.org/) which has many features similar to itunes. Rhythmbox is another good one (http://projects.gnome.org/rhythmbox/). Rythmbox and totem are for gnome (http://www.gnome.org/) and Amarok is for KDE (http://www.kde.org/), though I think you can use them interchangeably. Happy hunting ^^,

Little late but you could try vlc media player. I have it (not for certain if it uses wine though)

I prefer Totem Player, it can play many audio formats, and it has many free plug-ins available... You can also try Real Player for Linux which is available for free in bin and rpm formats on their website. If none of Linux audio applications was good for you then you can use wine to run Windows audio applications on your Linux machine..

xine player is good.
You have to compile xine libs and then there are many xine-ui's for it.

look here:
