install xmms, amarok, rhythmbox or whatever mp3 player you fancy. xmms' interface looks like winamp. i have not used any other player since it is good enough for me and i keep it minimized anyway so no use for eye-candy. :)

 

ciao!

My fav. is Xmms!

I use the Detonation skin, but I mostly use it through xmms-kde applet.

Amarok is nice, but I've never had the patience for it to database my whole collection, besides I have my own method of sorting music.

Haha, I read in many many places that you have to get special apps, etc to play MP3's in linux that I posted this before I even tried. On a whim I tried today - without installing any of the above mentioned software and to my happy surprise in LE 2005 Kaffiene opened up and played my MP3's. Guess I was all set and didn't even know it, lol.

 

Thanks guys = }

I asked somewhere on another thread about how to get xmms to play mp3s automatically when you double-click them... When I double-click an mp3 file, xmms comes up but does not start playing the song. I have to drag & drop the song file onto the xmms faceplate. How do you get it to play with just a double-click of a file? I'm using gnome.
