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,

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

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.

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.

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.

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. On Wed, Feb 28, 2007 at 05:44:26PM -0000, Michael Whapples wrote: > On that, then mplayer is probably a good choice.

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.
