Another free mp3 player for linux?
« on: January 26, 2004, 01:05:35 pm »
Ok here\'s the problem. At school, the school\'s xmms player doesn\'t play mp3s since RH9 took it out for license reasons.

I tried to then compile the latest version of xmms in the school\'s tmp folder, but I needed a newer glib version to configure the xmms, and you need root priviledge to install that. Now I tried to install the new xmms at home on my own tmp folder. Afterwards, I transferred the thing to the school\'s tmp folder. I got xmms-config to execute.... but I get a executable format error when I tried to run xmms.

Now I\'m looking for an alternative to xmms...... For God\'s sake, I need to stream internet radio!!!!

The best multimedia player: MPlayer
And you must be able to choose which formats to support or not when doing the ./configure (it\'s been a while since I compiled from scratch, that may be false).

Yeah, Mplayer is worth a :emerald:! You can try Gnomp3 too.

 It\'s not as pratical as XMMS but it\'s good :)

JuK ...it\'s going to be *in* kde-3.2

...another way would be to convert all the .mp3 to .ogg :rolleyes:

oh, if you need a good stream-player ...try rhythmbox[/ulr] ...although, i think it\'d work if you just installed the mp3 codec/plugin
