Thank God for audacious.

I just want to play my nicely ordered music without the need to open up playlists, start a server and what not.

Audacious is just a ... simple ... audio ... player like go'old xmms.

But xmms is no longer... The guys that wrote xmms decided they needed a client/server model for xmms2, so basically they rewrote mpd.

All "advanced" players suffer from the same feature creep and have too much options. Most of these don't even fit on the screen of my (much beloved) 701 EeePC.

I just want to click on a directory and play the mp3's inside. And audacious allows me to do to. (And then I haven't even begun to mention the tons of plugins that are available).
