[Cialug] Linux (ubuntu) burning

[Ed Meacham]

Not to jump of the Audacious-bandwagon but when I use my Linux machine
[sorry to say, it's now rare] I use it, too. I like it because it reminds me
a lot of Winamp [no hating please] and it played my first mp3 in Linux. :P

It's got a fair amount of TLC going for it, too; audio format support,
plug-ins, community, etc. If you haven't given it a shot yet, I think it's
worthwhile cause.

if you just want a 'play this directory' player (like I do), audacious 
is a fork of xmms.  I'm not sure of it's transcoding abilities

I'll never understand going from 'play this directory' (xmms) to 'we 
need a full client/server paradigm for playing audio' (xmms2).  I get 
the idea of a whole-house playback system, but it seems you could have 
made xmms the front-end to xmms2-server (or whatever) /rant
