I actually like the sound hooks that exist in windows. I went skimming through the ports collection looking for audio software. I learned that I know nothing about the audio formats that are prevalent in unix. I saw many MOD and MPEG programs and only a couple WAV programs. I am really only interested in X apps for audio. After looking at the 30 or so apps I am unsure what I really need. What do the netizens recommend for an audio player app? Thanks, Jason Wells
