recommend and mp3 player for linux?

[wurmy]

just curious of anyone recommended a particular program for playing mp3s in linux (something like winamp)?

[pbharris]

xmms
freeamp
both work for me, i prefer xmms

[Shad]

mpg123 will run from the command line, and XMMS and many others are actually just a front end for it.

Xmms is nice but it's kind of slow to me. Freeamp is much faster for me.

well i'm running ./configure for xmms-1.2.4 and when it gets to the bottom it gives me an error saying i need to install glib >=1.2.2:
"checking for glib-config...no
checking for GLIB - version >=1.2.2...no
*** The glib-config script installed by GLIB could not be found
if GLIB was installed in PREFIX make sure PREFIX/bin is in your path, or set the GLIB_CONFIG environment variable to the full path to the glib-config file.
Configure: Error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed, please install first ***

but when i do an rpm -q glib it says glib-1.2.8-2mdk is installed...so i am assuming it is looking in the wrong directory...but i have no idea where glib would be hiding....

When compiling a program that requires libraries (in your case glib) you need to ALSO install the development files for that library (in your case glib-dev).
The development packages are always suffixed with -dev.
