winamp

[Chris Norman]

Hi people,
I remember hearing something on this list about a piece of software for
linux that worked like winamp (presumably with the same key commands and
stuff), and am trying to find it.

Any ideas what it is? I've just tried xine but couldn't get it to work,
I've also tried beep-media-player, but couldn't figure out some of that.

Any ideas appreciated.

Cheers,

Hi.

You probably want audacity.  I tried it, but like rhythmbox and totem
better.

Firstly, do you want it for text console or gnome? in gnome there are
players such as gxine (ubuntu has this in its repositries), totem movie
player, etc (RealPlayer 10 is accessible to a level in gnome, if you
want that). In the text console, there is mplayer, trplayer (a text
front end for realplayer 8), cplay.

Depends what you want from the player, for which is most appropiate.
Mplayer has plenty of codecs (and probably allows playing nearly any
format), but it has so many options that it can be complex to get
started with or for basic use. Cplay is more basic, but simpler for
navigating through lists of tracks.

maybe freeamp?  Is this a x-windows app?  For command-line and it's mplayer all 
the way.

You're probably thinking of Mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu).  While 
it doesn't have *exactly* the same commands as winamp, but it does 
have keyboard commands for all functions (or at least all the ones 
I've need), and you can modify the key mappings.  It also supports 
quite a few audio and video formats especially if you install the 
iwn32codecs package.

Re: winamp

Basically, I want a player which will play the contents of an entire
folder (including sub-folders), and will shuffle and repeat, whiles
supporting as many codecs as possible.

What will be my best bet?

Re: winamp

On that, then mplayer is probably a good choice. I am not sure about how it 
would handle multiple directories, but it can do playlists (I think) so you 
could do it that way if necessary. Mplayer certainly meets the many codecs 
requirement, MP3, OGG, WAV, quicktime, windows media, realaudio, the list 
goes on.

I think there may be various front ends for mplayer, I think there is one 
called mplay, not sure what that is like to use.

Re: winamp

Theres also a gui frontend built into mplayer called mplayergui I 
think, you have to enable it during the configure process I just 
forget the exact option you pass to the configure script, though I 
think its something like --with-gui.  Its written in gtk iirc, though 
don't know if its at all accessible.

Now, it we had this sort of thing:
  yield -a     for yield to all traffic
  yield -t     for yield to trucks
  yield -f     for yield to people walking (yield foot)
  yield -d t*  for yield on days starting with t

...you'd have a lot of dead people at intersections, and traffic jams you
wouldn't believe...

Yeah, I used to use zinf at one time; I liked the displayed output for
the tag information but besides that, I find mplayer to be much more
versital with autio formats.  I just wish they could clean up the
display a bit and include vorbis comments and ID3-V2 tags.  Actually, it
might do vorbis, I don't remember for sure.

Freeamp (called zinf now) probably isn't worth the trouble to get

tried I had lots of issues getting it to compile, then to actually run
