And of course, there's the venerable XMMS. amaroK is my personal favorite, and if you like musicmatch, I think one of the more recent versions of amaroK would suit you. Luckily for you, beta4 of 1.2 is released and I just packaged it for Mandrake 10.1. You can find the packages and all related dependencies here: http://www.gkmweb.com/amarok/10.1 You only need one of the amaroK packages, probably the one without mysql support. amarok-1.2-0.beta4.1.101mdk.i586.rpm -- /g
