I have downloaded roadrunner, frodoplayer, and centrafuse. So far CENTRAFUSE is the winner. It has a terrific GUI, almost everything works (but its still in testing stages), and it does it without loading ugly plugins. ROADRUNNER was a decent enough frontend, and if you have experience in programming, it would be a great option as its completely open source. I found it a bit ugly for my liking, and it was far more complicated than it had to be. FRODOPLAYER - the name pisses me off, and i never actually managed to get it working, but i've heard good things about it. ... so basically centrafuse is the way to go as far as im concerned. it has ability to do everything i want in an attractive fashion. oh and about the GPS support - david from flux (creators of centrafuse) has confirmed that when the official release of centrafuse comes out (and yes, you will have to pay), you can buy working australian maps. thats probably the most frustrating part: that we have to buy the software soon, but its served me well so i'm willing to pay.
