I have always favored the X Multimedia System, which lives in /usr/ports/audio/xmms on 4.4-RELEASE. It plays CDDA, WAV, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, any mod format playable through mikmod, and some others depending on what plugins you've installed. It works like Winamp and accepts Winamp skins (which rocks, IMHO), supports ID3 tag editing for MP3 files and comment editing for Ogg Vorbis files, outputs to /dev/dsp or ESD, and it quite easy to use. -- Matthew Graybosch http://www.starbreaker.net "Sartre was mistaken: Hell is not other people.
