Yeah, I know how that goes. I stopped playing music entirely from just before my daughter was born, up until she was about 6. If I'd had two or three kids, I'd still not be playing music now.
After poking around in postfish, it's MUCH more powerful than JAMIN, but the impediment to my using it, is that neither it, nor mplayer, nor even aplay, seem to like my FastTrack Pro:
Could not set DSP fragment size; continuing.
Unable to set playback for 16 bits, 2 channels, 44100Hz
I set postfish for 24 bits, and...
Could not set DSP fragment size; continuing.

Unable to set playback for 24 bits, 2 channels, 44100Hz
Not postfish's fault; aplay is unhappy too:
aplay -D hw:0,0 foie-A.wav
Playing WAVE 'foie-A.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian in 3bytes, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
aplay: set_params:918: Sample format non available
And neither is mplayer:
