It's not so much that they are clones that make them good or bad, but
(speaking personally) after switching to rhythmbox from xmms was great.
I loved the catagorization. I rip cds I listen to often, and it's much
quicker than loading playlists for each cd.

In gnome you can use acme to bind alot of keys. Personally, I had just
bound them in metacity's configuration (in gconf-editor. Unfortunately,
you can't bind that stuff through the graphical keybinding config)
From rhythmbox --help:
--print-playing Print the playing song and exit
--print-playing-path Print the playing song URI and
exit
--print-song-length Print the playing song length
in
seconds and exit
--print-play-time Print the current elapsed time
of
playing song and exit
--set-play-time=LONG Seek to the specified time in
playing
song if possible and exit
--play-pause Toggle play/pause mode
--focus Focus the running player
--previous Jump to previous song
--next Jump to next song
-d, --debug Enable debugging code
-n, --no-registration Do not register the shell
--dry-run Don't save any data permanently
(implies --no-registration)
-q, --quit Quit Rhythmbox
Just a quick test, and "rhythmbox --next" from a terminal works as
expected.
As for Juk on kde, I dunno. Never used.
