Personally, I've settled on DeaDBeeF in Linux, because almost nothing else can do gapless playback. Or, if you prefer console players, I recommend cmus.
I've had no problem with gapless playback on moc, cmus, and mpd. Or are you talking mainly about GUI players?

I haven't tried moc, but mpd never did gapless playback for me.
Out of curiousity, what format did you use? I keep my files in FLAC format.
I use Winamp now but only because of its support for FLAC. I hate its UI, its far too messy and complicated with all kinds of windows that can be docked, undocked etc. Its unfortunate the developers have never understood the concept of "less is more".
Well, I don't want to sound like an evangelist, but foobar2000 plays FLAC just fine, with gapless playback and whatnot and the interface is quite the opposite of Winamp's.
I guess I am the only person in the world still using Winamp. Just feels odd when I listen to mp3s and can't look up the ID3 tags with alt-3. And I never felt the need for a 'library', 'database' or huge spaceship cockpit UIs either.

> And I never felt the need for a 'library', 'database' or huge spaceship cockpit UIs either. Probably because you never experienced them. There are things "you feel the need for" (e.g water in a desert) and things you have to use for a while to say "fuck, how did I do without those?".

I still use it for the fact I can reduce its size down to about 1/8" of my screen[1] (on a 23" 1920x1200 monitor) and scroll through my playlist with my mouse scroll wheel while docked on the taskbar of my screen. No other player (windows, linux or otherwise) can do that as far as I know. [1] http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/901/winampm.png *edit: added link

Winamp still kicks the crap out of every current music player.
How is it better than iTunes? I'm seriously asking. I'm always hearing people bitch about iTunes, but they never explain why. P.S. Yes. It has been getting bloated, but people have been complaining about iTunes since day 1.
It also installs multiple services even if you don't use the devices they are there for.
Apple tends to make crappy software for windows.

You can default it to a less is more interface.
I still use it with classic skin.
