XMMS is the media player I use. The only bad thing abut it is that it doesn't play MP3's with the stock equipment I've had. I must get my own plugin (may steal it from Lindows).
Its definately got to be Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, and Flash MX - These programs rock, and its such a shame that Macromedia have ignored the Linux user base...
I tell ya....if Photoshop would be ported to Linux, I would really have no reason to keep Windoz. It's pretty much the only thing that I use Windoz for.
Everything else that I once did on windoz I can do in Linux now.
I saw someone's sig that said something to the effect of "I'm close to being Macroshaft free".......yep.....that's me too.
I want a winamp style media list to organize my stuff in XMMS.
what do you mean by "media list to organize my stuff"??
I use Kaudiocreator to rip the cd's as ogg files and it places the cd's in a nice folder with the band name and then another folder with the album title.
Originally posted by Ciccio RH9? You could just download the RPM w/mp3 support and solve your prblems...
Every Linux flavor I've tried short of Lndows didn't have a MP3 encoder, but only a placeholder. My search for RPMs for XMMS to handle MP3s also come up empty handed. Am I looking wrong or something?
Anyway, compile tools under Mandrake 9 and 9.2 sucks. They just plain don't work. Could it be a bug?
No not a bug it must be the way you installed it. Left some option off or something. The last fresh install of 9.2 I was compiling in minutes just fine. No problems. I wrote this script to compile and load program that arn't included with the distro. When it finished everything work the first time. It compiles 4 different programs and loads over 100 more. As far as mp3 MDK plays mp3 just fine out of the box as for encoding ya you have to download a program for that. A great place to look for software is rpm.pbone.net.
Freakygeek55: Have you tried Kaudiocreator (I think that's the name)? I ripped some cd's and it made one folder under /home called Music. Every album is in a serperate folder though. At least it organizes it for me.
