Hi group, mplayer has some problems that xmms doesn't.
Whenever a lot of hard-drive activity takes place on my PC, mplayer faulters and sputters. I have to run xmms if I want uninterrupted music. And this is a fairly up-to-date unit with a Gig o' RAM. If I want shuffle mode I must first open xmms, shuffle the playlist and save it before using it in mplayer cause shuffle mode in mplayer only plays a few tunes over and over. With xmms it's easy to cue up as many tunes as I like. Haven't been able to do that in (g)mplayer. xmms has a neat feature that lets you arrange the playlist in the order the dir was filled allowing you to hear your tunes in the order they were acquired. Cause, naturally, I prefer to hear the newer tunes more that the older ones. How do I do that with mplayer? mplayer *can* play wmas, so that's a plus.
