Without turning this into a big discussion for pro or con, could someone drop a line or 3 just stating the name(s) of some type music players?  I'd probably want something that would play CD's and perhaps mp3's.  I don't guess there is a "catch-all" like the windows media player that does it all is there?

I guess I should have been more explicit and I always forget.. Need it 
to work on the x86_64 version.  I know that probably leaves out some 
stuff designed for the 386 architecture.
