| VLC really is just a piece of crap. I'd go for mplayer any day. Totem on GNOME is not bad either as the gstreamer backend supports a lot of stuff (really anything I've tried), but mplayer has way more features and more configuration options. |

I use mplayer (has played everything I've tried) with smplayer front end.

| VLC is OK, but I prefer either pure MPlayer or SMPlayer, which has a nice GUI. |

| if you're on Nvidia, also add +vdpau to the use flags, especially handy for dealing with perfect bluray rips without nuking your system. |

mplayer for me!
I run xfce, and I really like their native music player, xfmpc. It's a light frontend for xfce to MPD (music player daemon)

It's already compatible. If you have uninstalled mplayer, then simply make symlinks: | Code: | ln -s /usr/bin/mplayer{2,}
ln -s /usr/bin/midentify{2,}
ln -s /etc/mplayer{2,} |

No need to symlinks anything. Mplayer2 can be selected within gnome-mplayer gui :
Edit -> Preferences -> Mplayer -> Mplayer Executable
