XMMS is the best out of all the MP3 players I have tried. I have Netscape set
up to use XMMS to play streamed MP3s off of the internet. I think Netscape
should come already setup for this so that I do not have to create mime types
every time I upgrade or install my system.
I do not do much looking around for plugins, so I do not know what is out
there. What I want is a plugin that will use all four of my speakers
instead of the front two. I do not know if the sound modules for linux prevent
such a task from taking place, but it would be nice.
