Ah, come on, that simply isn't true. :) Several others just need an additional MP3 plugin package just as with XMMS. While for XMMS, the package is called "xmms-mp3", it has different names for the other players. For example: $ yum search xmms2 Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, refresh-packagekit Adding en_US to language list ================================ Matched: xmms2 ================================ gkrellxmms2.i686 : Gkrellm2 plugin client for XMMS2 nyxmms2.i686 : Commandline client for XMMS2 xmms2-avcodec.i686 : XMMS2 Plugin for avcodec supported formats xmms2-devel.i686 : Development libraries and headers for XMMS2 xmms2-docs.i686 : Development documentation for XMMS2 xmms2-faad.i686 : XMMS2 Plugin for AAC and MP4 audio formats xmms2-freeworld.i686 : Plugins for XMMS2 that cannot be included in Fedora xmms2-mad.i686 : XMMS2 Plugin for MPEG Audio files xmms2-mms.i686 : XMMS2 Plugin for MMS audio streams xmms2-mp4.i686 : XMMS2 Plugin for MP4 audio xmms2-perl.i686 : Perl support for XMMS2 xmms2-python.i686 : Python support for XMMS2 xmms2-ruby.i686 : Ruby support for XMMS2 gxmms2.i686 : A graphical audio player xmms2.i686 : A modular audio framework and plugin architecture esperanza.i686 : A graphical audio player lxmusic.i686 : Lightweight XMMS2 client with simple user interface gnome-applet-music.i686 : A GNOME panel applet to control various music players Here, for "xmms2-*" the MP3 plugin package is "xmms2-mad", which is based on the MAD audio decoding library for MP3. To add more 3rd party plugins (from rpmfusion.org) in one go, one would simply install "xmms2-freeworld". Additionally, it would be necessary to install a graphical user interface like "lxmusic" (or "gxmms2") because XMMS2 is just an audio framework. For Audacious 2 (which I use personally and it still offers a skinned interface like XMMS, too), the packages are: audacious audacious-freeworld (or just audacious-freeworld-mp3 for MP3 support) also see: yum list audacious\* For Qmmp, I see: qmmp qmmp-freeworld Lots of audio players use the GStreamer framework. You can find the additional 3rd party plugins for GStreamer with e.g. "yum list gstreamer\*". They may have strange names, but add support for MP3 and other formats. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
