alternatives to XMMS

Can anyone reccomend a good graphical alternative to XMMS
(www.xmms.org) ? It seems to produce crackling noises at the
beginning of VBR mp3s whose bitrates fluctuate wildly at
their beginnings.. Whereas on winamp, this doesn't occur at
all, so I know it's not something that was recorded in the
mp3.

what are VBR's exactly? I see a weird range of bitrates on
them- oh- variable bit rate. And why then, is it variable?

i haven't had any trouble with xmms?! never seen such a
decent player.. then again i'm just over windows hell on
this comp (and on the other comp i never listen to music)
and it might just be the aah no winamp thing.

i might add) it's just xmms on linux (X) i need to get rid
of... any linuxheads have any ideas? (graphical players, not
mpg123)
