Player similar in function to Winamp.
Hi, I've been using WinAmp for almost 10 years. On Linux, I've always played MP3's using mpg123 or mpg321. However I want something closer to Winamp in function. When I use WinAmp, I open a directory, and it builds on the fly a list of songs in the directory and any subdirectory. They can be sorted by various options, but most of the time I leave it in the order the files exist in. Because of that I have my MP3 library arranged with a top level directory of mp3, mounted with automounter or SAMBA on windows. Under it is a directory named for each artist, and under that a directory for each album (yes, I keep them together by albums, something no one else seems to). Then under each album is the mp3 files, named track-title.mp3. Some times I have two levels deep, such as /mp3/artist/special_album/cd_1/01-first_track.mp3. However what ever the number of levels is, I want to see a play list (created when I open it) of: first_track_title second_track_title last_track_title without having to deal with the directory structure and file names, the titles coming from the ID tags. The advantage of this is that I can just leave it play, or if I get to a track I don't like, or am not in the mood to listen to, I can either skip forward with the skip forward button, or mouse click on a song that is farther down in the playlist. Any suggestions? Thanks, Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Amarok is a very very good media player and indexer. http://amarok.kde.org/ On 7/15/07, Geoffrey S. Mendelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I've been using WinAmp for almost 10 years.

Don't you mean XMMS ? There was something called XMMP, but its dead for 5 years now, and I never was aware that it was meant as a Winamp clone. XMMS actually supports Winamp skins so you can have it look exactly like Winamp. Another player with Winamp skin support is Noatun, the old media player for KDE - now a bit dead as well, mostly due to the popularity of Amarok. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's been a lot time since I've touched anything other than amarok.
