It still surprises me that VLC is on the list as audio player, and this year it even took top place! I've long used VLC as a video player, but never really considered it a viable audio player. I'm clearly not one of the cool kids, because VLC received almost 25% of the popular vote! Much like photos, a music collection can grow to be unwieldy. It's great to have such a wide selection of tools to tame the beast.

• VLC: 24.9%

• Amarok: 20.4%

• RhythmBox: 14.1%

• Other: 11.1%*

• Banshee: 10%

• Audacious: 6.4%

• MPlayer: 5.1%

• XMMS: 3.5%

• Exalie: 1.6%

• MOC: 1.4%

• Totem: 1.3%

• Last.fm: .1%
