    Hi guys,

    What would you recommend as the best media player to download?

    I'll be using it for music only but I want something with better library options than MediaMaster

    Thanks

    Stu

    I'm using Amarok, which seems to have quite a good library set up. Scans your selected folders, various sorting options, imports covers, etc. Also, can play obscure filetypes if you download some extras. I also tried Miune, which was a very stripped down, simple player. I've not used linux for long though, so see what other recomendations you get.

    To get Amarok with codecs for mp3s, m4a's, etc etc:

    sudo yum update fedora-release
    sudo rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
    sudo yum install rpmfusion-free-release rpmfusion-nonfree-release
    sudo yum install amarok
    sudo yum install amarok-extras-nonfree
