Actually I have found MadMan + xmms to be a better set of tools than Rythmbox. It is much easier to select and build ad hoc one time playlists with this arrangment. Plus you get a ton of bells and whistles between the two programs giving you a lot more flexibility. The actual player features in Rythmbox are quite limited since most of the energy seems to have been devoted to cataloging mp3's. Multiple formats, crossfading, and a huge list of other features have been added to xmms over the years. As near as I can tell Rythmbox has not begun to approach this feature set yet. But given time I'm sure it will be OK.
