Re: [LUG] Good media player ?

Hi Richard,

You can use xmms for your mp3s. But note that as the 
player comes on the redhat install it will not play 
mp3s (this is due to redhat being to nervous about 
patents?!)

However there is a binary you can use that will remove 
the restrictions:

http://havardk.xmms.org/dist/xmms-1.2.7-rh8-rh9-
rpm/xmms-mpg123-1.2.7-21.i386.rpm

I use xine for my dvd vcd stuff:

Note that you need the plugins for the winders stuff to 
play. RPM's are available you may have to google a bit!

Regards,

Luke
