What I lack in programming skills I can at least make up in paying attention and filing bug reports.
What I like about Nightingale is that (at first glance) it looks simple. I've long wondered why a program that plays music needs to be more complex than MS Word.
I've wandered through a variety of players, ranging from Winamp (still my fallback) to iTunes (which I really dislike) to Banshee and a couple of others on Ubuntu.
Ultimately I want something that's as easy as back in days if LP Records: Find an album (or a 45 single) on the shelf. Put it on the turntable. Play it. Somehow most media players seem to work very hard to make things a heck of lot more complicated.
FWIW I've got many years of DOS, then Windows behind me, a three year detour into Apple, and am now very happy with Mint Linux on my PC.
