VLC Player
VLC is the supreme of all open source projects, you used it in school, college, work and home.
I used it since I was a child and it has never failed on me. It didn't matter what type of file you chucked at it, it would run it.
Do you disagree or agree with VLC being the best media player? What are your thoughts?

VLC's file format support is amazing for a project that rolls its own codecs, etc, but it's missing some important features for me on the music front, primarily gapless playback and library management. I generally prefer to use software tailored to my DE. I've yet to find a better video player anywhere though; GNOME Videos and Kaffeine come closest and are a little easier to use, but are still far away from VLC's capabilities.
Offtopic, but what do you use for music?
Currently Elisa for my digital music library, and for individual files I prefer to use VLC. I've had good experiences with Strawberry Music Player (and its predecessor, Clementine), too, and am thinking of switching back to it. And when I was a GNOME user, I preferred Lollipop.
Just wanna jump in here and recommend Quodlibet. It handles tags very well.
