In addition, there are close to 20 XMMS plugins available in YaST.
XMMS plays most every audio format. It will play your audio CDs out of the box, as well
as MPEG movies.
CHAPTER 10 Sights, Sounds, and Other Fun Things 198
FIGURE 10.5 Arrange the XMMS display any way you like to enhance your audio experience.
Equalizers, playlists, sound analyzers, and oscilloscope meters are all showing here in addition
to the simple player in the upper left.
If you have a live Internet connection, XMMS will contact the CD Database (CDDB) of
your choice (XMMS defaults to FreeDB) to deliver track information when you play a CD.
Playing Music
XMMS doesn??™t collect your music to store in a database; it handles things in a much more
transitory state. Click in the upper-left corner of the player and select Play to see your
options. Activate the Playlist Editor to select and play multiple songs, unless you want to
hear everything in a selected directory.
Playlists
Open the Playlist Editor to create temporary or permanent lists of songs. Use the icons at
the bottom of the Editor to bring in particular songs or directories.
