Re: Any generic (non-wm-specific) audio players?
I know xmms does a few stream formats (like MP3), and can probably handle most as it is plugin based. I use it as my main audio player in BSD/Linux as I like the interface most. It's a faitful winamp clone, which as my first music player that stuck. Anyway, the "sterio" looking controls do what they would on a remote control, there is a playlist (PL in the main window) that is drag and drop, with some labled buttons that should be relatively navigatable (add files/directories/etc). For a lot of configuration, right click on a couple of non interface areas until you see a menu with options->preferences come out. http://www.xmms.org/ http://www.xmms.org/docs/readme.php -Jim Stapleton ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

The KDE app does and I am really getting into some one the new drums and ambient(?) stuff. Wow. Anyway, curses is fine. Thanks for the config file. Download the streams playlist file (.pls, .m3u, etc.) and then add it to cplays playlist like you would with a normal mp3... That's how I do it, I have not looked for a better way to do it because it's good enough for me... It also depends on the back-end your using and what's in your cplayrc file... You could also launch the stream at the command line, you'll still need to manually download the playlist file first: $ cplay radio_paradise.m3u If you do this: $ cplay http://www.radioparadise.com/musiclinks/rp_128.m3u It won't automatically fetch the playlist file, I think it's simply an issue with the back-end player... maybe mpg123 (or another back-end) can automatically fetch them...

I would probably save weeks trying to turn FBSD into the kind of "Desktop" or window-manager platform I want by just using my Ubuntu platform. I'm still stickng with CTWM. On my Ubuntu servers there is amarak(sp?) which is my favorite audio-only apps so far. Is there anything like this that doesn't require desktop-specific libraries? tia, guys, gary -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
