Music Players

my curiosity has set in so I must ask this question. Other than the default music players are there any other music player that I can use on opensuse 10.3?

Um, there are tons.

amarok, kautone, mplayer et al, xmms (I like this one, but for reasons that will not interest you), kaffeine, and many more.

I do thank you for some of those programs, however I have most of them but I'm looking for a program that plays .aif and .aiff files. If you know of any that support those two format that would be great.

Thank you in advance,

Try vlc

Vlc. Forgot that one. By the way, almost all linux audio players will play those formats if you have the proper codecs installed. Kaffeine, for example, will check your system for the various non-free codecs and report their status. I always start up Kaffeine on an install to jog my memory as to what codecs I need. (if you missed that status report on the first run, you can delete ~/.kde/share/apps/kaffeine. That makes Kaffeine "forget" that it was already been run and it will check again). Most of the codecs are available from the pacman repository.

Sorry for the duplication! I kept hitting the Submit button when it turned out that my connection was just slowing down! Maybe one of the mods can delete the duplicate (and this message?)

I've tried VLC with music when I was stuck with vista and I couldn't listen to music it acted as if I didn't select anything for it.

I use xmms (for I don't want to let an audioplayer hog too much memory and cpu, plus I love its funny philosophy), and since it doesn't contain any playlist-management I also use »madman«, which controls xmms (or mpd if one prefers that). madman is not developed anymore, which is a pitty, but it really works absolutely nice and also needs almost zero cpu.
