Jukebox (not Itunes or WMP) to play Video/MP3/FLAC

Are there any alternatives to Itunes and WMP to play MP3, FlAC and videos, mainly Apple MOV files?

Preferably it should be able to scrobble to Last.FM and sound and look as good as the very customizable Foobar.

J. River Media Center (FREE 30-day trial, then $40) is by far the best out there. It does what you want [MP3, FLAC and MOV videos] and adds picture viewing. You'll be able to play MOV files if you have "Quicktime Alternative" installed, may also work if you have Quicktime itself installed. I've used a lot of players out there and this one takes the cake. It's also great for transcoding your FLACs into MP3s in folders based on the tags for your portable. It will even remove the album art automatically to make the MP3 files even smaller.

Have you tried Winamp?  It's free, supports a large number of audio codecs, has last.fm support and has many skins and plugins available.  Whether it looks as good as foobar is a matter of taste.  It can play MOV files if you have Quicktime Player or Quicktime Alternative installed.
