mp3 players

[s***@verizon.net]

why is it so difficult to get mp3 players to work with linux? I really like
xmms which works well on suse, but suse doesnt support my hardware as well as
fedora core 3. fedora will not let me play mp3s on xmms no matter what I do.
I have installed everything I could find that should have worked including
mpg123 and the packages recommended by xmms. I also can't find any other mp3
players that will let me que an album or multiple files. fedora suggested
real player which will play only one mp3 at a time.the default player that
comes with fedora also will not play mp3s (helix?) is there a simple answer
or a better distribution?

Fedora Core 3 will play mp3s just fine, just make sure you have installed;
xmms-mp3-1.2.10-9.1.1.fc3.fr.i386.rpm or the xmms-mp3 package that matches
your version of xmms (rpm -qa 'xmms').

xmms will also let you cue album(s) or multiple files (select Play
Directory or press Shift+L), use playlists (.pls files like those from
Shoutcast or user/application created) and a lot more (with additional
plug-ins installed). Some of the additional plug-ins can be found here;

I recommend madplay. It is a very lightweight player which uses very little
system resource,will play multiple files, and is console based.
