My answer to that question is simply 'mplayer'. I organize my music in folders. I use cd, find and others to navigate. I have never been happy with players with databases - it somehow always gets in the way. I don't like last.fm recommendations, due to the simple fact that I like as diverse music as possible. I discover new music via radio. Mostly wfmu.
For me, interesting bit is information about resampling. Thank you for it.
