gotta chime in on this one...I used to like gxine before the new xine 
came out, now xine is my choice as well for video stuff. It was more of 
a skin thing for me as I thought all the skins for xine sucked, too hard 
to make out the function buttons, and I thought they were pretty much 
ugly. The new xine has some really nice skins and works well. I also use 
gxine for m4a's and now got the plugin for m4a's for xmms/bmp. I did the 
plugin for xmms because I use that if I want to make an audio cd of the 
m4a's as k3b does not yet convert the m4a's so I use that handy as hell 
function of xmms, disk writer!
