I recently upgraded to Lion, so currently use VLC more than Cog. With each, you open the app, press cmd O, browse to your desired music location, open it, and you're off and running. VLC has some unlabeled buttons, but you can take care of that via voiceover's labeling method. Both apps have keyboard shortcuts available for nearly every function of the respective player, and both are very accessible IMO. Also, and this is simply me being me, but I love the customizable EQ in VLC. Made me run out and buy amazing speakers for my Mac. :D
Again, I hope that helps.
