Personally, I think xmms looks better. It's plain, but displays what it 
should and doesn't take a lot of screen estate. Rhythmbox is huge, looks 
really ugly (not exactly itunes in that respect... it manages to be huge 
and cluttered while not displaying much) and sloooooooow. When trying to 
add my music collection (5000 songs or so... got way too many CDs), xmms 
is finished in an instant. Rhythmbox just stays unresponsive for 30 mins 
using all CPU, not displaying any progress or letting you do anything.  
Then I just want my system back and puts it out of its misery.

Rhythmbox shouldn't displace better working alternatives until it has 
gotten useful.
