Alternatives to Banshee for all platforms with any license

VLC Media Player

VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player and framework. Owned by the non-profit organization VideoLAN.
- VLC Media Player is a media player. It's very good at it. Banshee is more than that. Banshee is a way to organize many types of media and access them all in a single interface. It's really more of a media organizer and player in one. VLC really isn't a replacement for it. Guest • Oct 2016 • 11 agrees and 1 disagrees

This is my favorite music player. It's really easy to organize your music with banshee and there are cool addons.

I love this player~! I needed something to sync my Sansa Fuze with but Rhythmbox didn't work correctly, dragging and dropping caused more problems than it fixed. I just click a button in Banshee and it's done! It is slower than some other players but once it's up and running, everything works very smoothly. The only thing I miss is scrobbling to Libre.fm

This has some nice features and you can play stuff from your iPod, but for me it just was never good enough. I liked that it would show the album cover when it was playing the song, but other than that... it just was a clumsy interface and did not do all that I wanted, but for making playlists, this does ok. For playlists I use Amarok or Totem/Gnome player.
