xmms

XMMS is definitly the best audio player for Linux ot there. It supports most file types, it is easy to handle, looks best and supports drag&drop within KDE... the only bad thing about it is that there is no icon-feature for the system tray like noatun has it. Xmms-kde consumes way to much space in the tray and the player cannot be hidden completely in the tray.

Noatun is nice, but quite unrealy and unmature. And it seems like there is no development going on any more. JuK is nice, too. But it does not seem to support Modules (.xm or .mod files). AmaroK is still in a very early stage of development but might be promising.

This may be worth a look. I've been looking for a way to minimize xmms to the system tray and eliminate it from the actual process tray (don't know the real name) ala Gaim and XChat (using the plugin).

If xmms is (more or less) copying Winamp for look & feel, why not integrate the "minimize to system tray" part too?

XMMS vs Noatun

For me, the two big choices right now are XMMS or Noatun. I don't really like the "jukebox" idea, I like a nice compact player (or at least a nice-looking player) that can sit on my desktop. A good playlist (opened only when necessary) serves me better than "jukeboxes". But I digress...

Personally, I probably would use Noatun if it weren't for one thing: ARTS. XMMS plays files without skipping under high CPU load on my system, without being suid root. Noatun (or rather, arts), however, skips under low load even though it is suid root (and believe me, I've spent hours trying to make arts work). I personally hope that arts is either fixed or dumped from KDE altogether.

Ever tried amaroK?

It is a simple, but powerful, audio player for KDE, similar to XMMS.

It is in the beginnigs of its development, but is already useful.

PS: Are you sure you have artswrapper suid root and has enabled realtime priority? I don't remember having problems with aRts since KDE 2.0, and my computer can't be considered fast (p3 500 MHz).

Yes, I have artswrapper suid root (the Mandrake packages don't do it automatically for some reason) and I have it set to high priority (and I've played with every other setting ad nauseum). In any case, I disagree with the idea that audio should need to be suid root in order to function well. Like I said, XMMS runs perfectly, even under high load (like running multiple compiles simultaneously). With arts, I can't even play one song without skips under low load.

I always try it again each new release, though, so we'll see what happens in 3.2.
