AM>Use 'mplayer'.  With a GUI front-end, if you like.

Problem was he couldn't get a version that worked
with the Core 3 release of Fedora..  Possibly he just never
found all the required dependancies but it sounds like it's
a lot more complicated than it needs to be..

AM> > and MP3 files ?

AM>XMMS without a doubt!

He had that running in a Knoppix install and he liked it
but it didn't come with Fedora and I assume if it can be
installed in it he hadn't yet found the package to do so.
He got something someone else suggested running (Xine ?)
and seems happy enough for the moment.. At least it all
came in one package and ran when installed..

Thanks for the suggestions anyways..
