I'd agree that amaroK is different. I've also found it to be mostly stable and the GUI seems to be obvious. I like the fact it minimises to nothing, and the the basic GUI is KDE standard rather than some funky bitmap disaster.

I've tried Kaffeine since I posted this rant, and it's not bad, nicer looking that the plain xine-ui. However xine and hence Kaffeine still crashes when playing MP3.

I've not tried KPlayer.

XMMS is okay, but only with the right skin, the default is pretty horrid.

I don't play web streams much so I can't comment, mostly I play my own CDs that have been ripped to Ogg.
