Amarok

I love it! Only for the Amarok itself it was worth to switch to Ubuntu. It is nothing revolutionary, but its features are exactly what I need to enjoy my media collection.
It can also deal with last.fm streams, which makes it even more useful.

The coolest feature for me is possibility to control the player using the mouse scroll over the Amarok's tray icon.
  • scroll up/down - volume up/down
  • ctrl + scroll up/down - previous/next song
  • scroll click - pause/play
Oh, I forgot to mention about keyboard shortcuts used for controlling the player that are working also when player's window is not active.
