I agree.  I could use Rhythm Box after a fashion and I like the Itunes-like
features but the navigation about the lists is just plain terrible.
Frankly, I couldn't use the library at all and that would be a good selling
point for this player if it worked better.  In general, I use totem movie
player to play my audio and it's pretty good.  In fact, I can seek through
parts of a track with Totem; can't do that with Rhythm Box.  For linux text
console, I have always liked mplayer.  I heard there was something out there
called gnome-mplayer.  Not sure if it overlays mplayer with a GUI or if it
is a completely different player.
