Install Xnoise 0.2.18 lightweight Media Player in Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy/Ubuntu 13.04 Raring/Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal/Linux Mint 15/14, Xnoise 0.2.15 in Ubuntu 12.04 Precise/Mint 13 and Xnoise 0.2.12 in Ubuntu 11.10 Oneiric/Mint 12 and other Ubuntu derivatives

Xnoise, a lightweight music player with minimal interface has been updated bringing in many new features and fixes. Xnoise is written in Vala and supports video playback making it one stop media application. Xnoise is a media player for GTK+ with a slick GUI, great speed and lots of features.
But Unlike Rhythmbox, Banshee or iTunes, xnoise uses a tracklist centric design. The tracklist is a list of video or music tracks that are played one by one without being removed. This gives you the possibility to enqueue any track in any order, regardless if they are on the same album or not. Tracks can be added and reordered at any time via drag and drop. A search function helps you find artists, albums, and titles in your local media collection.
Xnoise is always running in a single instance, so that music files that are associated with it, will always be added to the tracklist instead of starting a new instance. Xnoise can play every kind of audio/video data that gstreamer can handle!

Install SMPlayer 0.8.5 with YouTube and Mplayer support in Ubuntu 12.10/Ubuntu 12.04/11.10/11.04/10.10/10.04/9.10/9.04/All Linux Mint versions

SMPlayer is a complete media player for Windows and Linux. It uses the award-winning MPlayer as playback engine which is capable of playing most video and audio formats (avi, mkv, wmv, mp4, mpeg... see list). It uses its own codecs, so you don't need to install any codec packs.
One of the most interesting features of SMPlayer: it remembers the settings of all files you play. So you start to watch a movie but you have to leave... don't worry, when you open that movie again it will resume at the same point you left it, and with the same settings: audio track, subtitles, volume...
smplayer
List of Features:
  • Complete preferences dialog, where you can change the key shortcuts, colors and fonts of the subtitles, and many more.
  • Filters. Many video and audio filters are available: deinterlace, postprocessing, denoise... and even a karaoke filter (voice removal).
  • Seeking by mouse wheel. You can use your mouse wheel to go forward or backward in the video. The mouse buttons can also be customized.
  • Video equalizer, allows you to adjust the brightness, contrast, hue, saturation and gamma of the video image.
  • Multiple speed playback. You can play at 2X, 4X... and even in slow motion.
  • Audio and subtitles delay adjustment. Allows you to sync audio and subtitles.
  • Advanced options, such as selecting a demuxer or video & audio codecs.
  • Possibility to search and download subtitles from opensubtitles.org.
  • It can play Youtube videos. A Youtube browser is included, which allows to easily download Youtube videos too.
  • Translations: currently SMPlayer is translated into more than 30 languages, including Spanish, German, French, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese....
  • Possibility to change the style and icon set of the interface.
  • Free and opensource. SMPlayer is under the GPL license.
