Anyone know the best Wine version to use with foobar2000? I need native cuesheet support that loads the individual entries to the playlist rather than a seperate window like XMMS' plugin does, foobar is the only thing I know of that does this.

When I try loading foobar the menu bar doesn't draw properly and only works when you click where a button should be, then crashes if you try to do anything - What wine build are you foobar people using? :)

I've run

 echo ao_driver \"alsa09\" >> /etc/mpd.conf

but still no joy, I will have a look at ubuntuforums, if I get it working, I will post what I did

Running Breezy? I installed it yesterday and noticed that mpd stopped working. Was going to look into it more today.

I got MPC working, but I've found Banshee now, it's got a few bug's, but it's getting there, in the meantime i'm using mplayer *.mp3

You just cannot beat mplayer, it will play ANYTHING!

Try Beep Media Player, it's XMMS that uses GTK2 instead of GTK1 which looks way more nice :drool:

Oh? I would like a better UI. Would I have to go through the whole mp3 support spiel again? I've heard good things about BMP.

The next generation player from the beep guys, bmpx, has a library. It will also support a new flashy skin format and seems way cool. It's already usable and development is very fast.

I have started using Banshee again, 0.9.7 in the Breezy repos was a bit old and buggy, so I compiled it from source

Have posted instructions and deb's on my site

I recently discovered Banshee while searching for something completely unrelated. I'll have to give your page a shot later tonight after I install Debian.

The best audio player for Linux...has to be amaroK...(Anyone who has seen it wants to install Linux, so that they can listen using amaroK).. It is sooo cool !!

Amazing search, smart playlists, awesome KDE integration, clean interface....make it the best audio player out there !!

I don't know what's the big deal with everyone loving amaroK... I guess I have to try it again. I personally use XMMS when I want to hear one song, and JuK when I'm doing the playlist thing. Which is.. always.

I would use something else, but they all segfault while loading all my playlist mounted over NFS.
