"Nowadays I collect, store, and listen to music mostly on digital media, so I thought I'd find myself a Linux audio player that does all the things I need it to do. Little did I know how many options I had! After evaluating more than a dozen applications, I've found three that I feel provide the best mix of features and performance."Read more at Linux.com.

True. I use Amarok myself without any problems, including CD playback. Perhaps the author of the article should do some more research! From the Amarok page: What media types does amaroK support?
None. Yes, that's right! None! We have a backend independent approach, so the question you should be asking is "What media types does GStreamer/xine/aRts/NMM/MAS/KDEmm support?" So as you can guess we pretty much support absolutely every audio format you can think of. GStreamer can even decode text and PNG!
For more information, have a look at Audio Engine Comparison.
