    Clementine has Last.Fm integration, better visual aesthetics (in my opinion,) song fingerprinting for tag finding, and it's cross platform.

    Its skins and interface is almost identical to Winamp. It's simple, minimalistic and it works like a charm, just like good ol'Winamp

    The best, most full featured media library compared to Winamp. The views are different, but maybe the only other media player that has the same library functionality.
