Unlike more popular players that draw a huge window taking up the entire screen, with tons of knobs and menus popping out in new windows, qmmp gives you a single tiny window (that looks pretty much the same as Winamp used to look) with the basic controls and the playlist. The rest is available through a menu.

Cons
Con Cannot change library folder
Con Too Simplistic
It works as a simple music player with a GNOME look, but it has very few features and almost no configuration options. Too bad.
Con Buggy
Gnome Music needs a tracker daemon running in the background and that thing never loads the music. It takes forever for a huge library to be loaded even if it was previously partially loaded.
