Well, I have MP3 playing fine, but I can only play my iTunes m4a files using XMMS. XMMS is great for some things, but lacks the musician, album, genre, and song name browsing functionality of amaroK and Rhythmbox.
I have installed all the mad files, flac, faac, faad2, mpcdec, all the id3 stuff, etc. When I try to add an m4a file in Rhythmbox, I am told the stream is unrecognized. I will post again with the names of all the specific packages and the error details. Miles
