you can also try VLC - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - which is some kind of media player, knows audio and video formats. You can also try MPlayer which is a Hungarian project and I'm proud of it :) - being a Hungarian - but I prefer the VLC nowdays because it's multiplatform and lots of friends still using OSX or Windows so I need something I can recommend them which is OSS. bye, Ago -- > On Sat, 2006-01-28 at 22:45 -0500, Jim Perrin wrote: >> On 1/28/06, Sam Drinkard <sam@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> > Sorry for the off topic posting, but I'm not a real music >> person and know little about what software will do what. >> Without turning this into a big discussion for pro or con, >> could someone drop a line or 3 just stating the name(s) of >> some type music players?
