      Linux must have

      I'm just starting with this new OS, might be a good idea post which programs you consider a Must-have. Might be very helpful have a list of the best programs, cos there are tons of them just like win and it's quite difficult to choose
      So if you have to recommend some goodies on cdr,audio,web...ect, post !
      (ex. Poko which is the "EAC" for Linux? )
      You can be anything you want to be, just turn yourself into anything you think that you could ever be

      what's the best ogg/mp3/audio cd player for linux? I use one or two progs supplied with mandrake, they are pain in the ass, totally uncomfortable. that apart from the fact that my sb128 pci is not recognised properly by mandrake and music sounds like ****.
      Please don't send me PMs, I only check them once in a month. If you have to say something, say it here

      Hello,
      IMHO is the best player is XMMS h**p://www.xmms.org. XMMS is something like Winamp, supports skins for Winamp, and has a lot of plugins...

      you are right, stupid me, it's included in mandrake, I overlooked it. very nice player for audio, but doesn't work well for mpeg movies.

      One thing I wonder about, is it possible to play avis encoded with MS mpeg 4 codec on linux? I guess the only possibility is to change the header of the file from MS to divx and then use the divx codec for linux, but there are some differences between MS mpeg4 and divx and sometimes parts of the movies are not decoded correctly, if I use divx instead of mpeg4 for a MS mpeg4 encoded movie
