Has anyone had experience with "Audacious" or similar apps?
I was also wishing I could get a cloud player to work so i could use my Amazon cloud MP3's. Isn't it strange that Amazon won't support its cloud player on any of its devices (other than the Fire?) You would think it would work on the Touch at least.

I have a Kindle 3 only, so I wouldn't know about Kindle touch.
If you're comfortable using launchpad, there are 2 great ones, MPD and Mplayer.

There are GUIs for them, but I don't really use them.
K3Music Manager:

As for cloud player...I don't see it happening any time soon, but both of the music players support streaming so you /can/ use things like I<3Radio and Internet radio streams. It's flash-based, and Amazon doesn't really want us streaming music over their 3G

EDIT: Oh, I didn't read your post thoroughly enough. Mplayer and MPD are it as far as I know. You can edit the Launchpad scripts to your liking or use the terminal for them to get greater customisation
