Take a look at http://www.freeamp.org/ they claim to support
streaming.  I haven't tried this yet but I have been meaning to.

Hmm..that I'm not sure about I believe it is SUPPOSED to do
so...might want to check the xmms page to be sure. At least it has a
"play location" option... :-)

 Yeah...they renamed it a couple months back to XMMS... :-)

John (Brian too)I don't think that the above is true.  My mdk 6.0
installation has an icon in Application Starter/Multimedia named
X11Amp.kdelnk which links to an executable called

I think whether it's called X11amp or xmms is irrelvant as long as the
icon connects to it and it runs when asked to so.  :)

What were the error messages?  It might be easier to decipher your
problem if we knew them.

Also, were you aware that there are two mp3 players that come with the
Mandrake distribution.  One is x11amp (or something to that effect),
which is a WinAmp clone, and another one I can't remember.  If you check
under the multimedia portion of the tool bar you should find them.  That
is, if you installed them when you installed Mandrake.  :)

 Hi

 I tried to load a couple programs last night for MP3 players
 and extracted the
 files into another folder before installation. They were
 supposed to install
 with the ./configure command and then 'make' and then 'make
 install'. I saw some
 action on the screen as if things were proceeding fine under
 the ./configure
 and then it got to a point where there was an error about my
 C++ compiler.

 Has anyone else experienced this?

 Any suggestions?

 Many thanks in advance.

 You must have a different Mandrake distro than I do. I have
 the McMillan version which only came with XMP3 (or
 something like that) and mpg123 (a console-based player.)
 The one you're thinking of is xmms (www.xmms.org) which is
 the WinAmp clone. :-)
 John

There IS an MP3 player that comes with KDE. It isn't nessecarily a win amp
clone, but by selecting it in the options, it can use a winamp skin and
therefore LOOK identical to winamp.

It was still called X11Amp in the Mandrake 5.3 release.
