Playing MP3 in LINUX
The file music format which wide knows is MP3. It is very pleasant when doing a job in front of computer while listening and enjoying music.Many software which can be use to playing MP3 in linux.One of my favourite is XMMS. For windows user whom usually familiar with Winamp will have no difficult to operate this because the look or GUI is quite same.XMMS software have the license GPL, which mean it's free.
More about XMMS
Many linux distro now usually have figuring XMMS in its package. But the only problem is this package does'nt include MP3 decoder because the license problem. Because of that we have to download MP3 encoder so that we can play MP3 file. XMMS can play WAV file and CD media as good as Winamp. Beside that it can play file with format MOD, S3M, MED and Ogg Vorbis (look http://www.vorbis.com) which is free file music format, MP3 substitution alternative.
Like Winamp, XMMS has 3 main panel, control panel, equalizer panel and playlist panel. Beside skin from winamp, have made available also many free skin in internet which can be downloaded from http://www.xmms.org/skins.php.
