music-player

I have been looking quite few days for that but I have not found an answer. I am trying to find a good music player for ubuntu in which I would be able to search the media library like in winamp ( typing te band's or song's name in a search field ).

I have tried this with Banshee but

it lags a lot when I change the 'selected' album in library
I cannot find the search field/option in there

Any suggestions/solutions ?
