I don't even know what that is.  The only thing I need to do besides listen to songs is to search for a specific song.  I don't know about Winamp, but on XMMS it's just a matter of pressing "j" then typing all or part of the name.  I don't need any other functionality. 

Neither do I, but I like the additional functionality that Winamp provides.  The Media library has several different search functions (plus a bunch of automatically generated lists that are sometimes handy).  It's actually a bit easier than that to search for a song on Winamp, but since it's so easy on both, it's pretty irrelivant.  I've used XMMS quite a bit.  It works, but I don't like it nearly as much as Winamp.

It sounds pretty similar to XMMS's 'j' searching.  I don't know about automatically generated lists, but you can easily generate one with a search. 

Not really important, though.  I just find Winamp too bulky.  I want to play music, period.  I don't want a program that does anything else.

I want more.  That's why I like Winamp more than XMMS. :P

I'm currently using amaroK. I don't like the way it does it's music library, but it's better than nothing (IMO).
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.
