I've been quite happy using Audacious in Lubuntu compared to say in the past when i've tried Clementine and Amarok and I found they both felt bloated almost like iTunes for windows.

I've found Gmusicbrowser and it suits my needs much better than any player I've seen. Fast with a huge library, random rules, cuztomiable interface and great popup window to control it.
