I find something absolutely essential missing in Rhythmbox: a "playing now" or "currently playing" playlist. What's up with that?? What if I want to add or remove a song after the playlist's done? Do I need to do it again? And how do I add a single song to the currently playing playlist?

Maybe it's just me, maybe these features are there and I never found them, but honestly, this whole "usability" thing in Gnome is getting ridiculous... Things are getting harder to do, not easier. I just hope Juk catches up...

AFAIK Rythmbox doesn't adhear to the GNOME HIG.
And yes it's hard to use.

For simple song playing and stuff I use beep-media-player

No, but TurboLinux are offering a player with their distro that can play WMP files and streams. This is proprietry and costs ££££.

Besides, Xine and mPlayer can play most WMP files and streams anyway
