I wouldn't exactly call it lightweight... I have both xmms and cplay open right now, and gtop shows xmms at 28MB, and mpg123 (via cplay) at less than 3MB... For me this is not a concern, but for someone with, say, 128MB of RAM, if they are running a desktop environment, an email client, and a few mozilla windows, 28MB of RAM is suddenly a scarce resource. -jason pepas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
