Mpg123 claims to be fastest decoder and that claim is consistent with my observation. Thank you for the info, i'll try xmms and take a look at the load I don't think x11amp used more than a couple percent. i believe it was bug in x11amp - it reports CPU usage wrongly.

But i believe there are problems with utilities, especially dealing with MT programs. Aren't xmms heavely multithreaded? Frank OK
x11amp still available?
I upgraded to xmms and I'd like to go back to x11amp. xmms uses about 30% of my 233cyrix's cycles. I don't think x11amp used more than a couple percent. Is there a deb of x11amp around still somewhere? I can't find it in the archive. --- Get free personalized email at http://www.iname.com

I don't think x11amp used more than a couple percent. One of the bugs in x11amp was that it used to mask the CPU usage of the decoding thread giving the impression that it was using less time that it actually was. This bug was fixed in later versions of x11amp (0.9?) and is definitely fixed in xmms. So it may not actually be performing worse. Is there a deb of x11amp around still somewhere? I can't find it in the archive. If you can find a really out of date mirror (like a month or so) you might have some luck.

RE: x11amp still available?
As far as I know, X11amp is being replaced with XMMS. Take a look at: www.xmms.org Trying to access www.X11amp.org will take you to XMMS also.
