Players 

http://www.sacredchao.net/quodlibet - Highly extensible GTK2 media player 
written in Python 
http://musicpd.org/ - Music Player Daemon, runs as a daemon without all the 
extra fluff

Services 

http://www.last.fm/ - Used to be called Audioscrobbler, has now gone 
corporate but at one point published their database of music listener's 
habits. I use the next piece of software linked to play a sort of "personal 
online radio" from this site.

http://www.xboxmediacenter.com/ - FLOSS media player / center for the Xbox 
http://www.rockbox.org/ - Open-source firmware for iPods and many other
