FC8 media player?
What are you guys using to play MP3's and wmv's etc...?
Im looking for something similar to winamp for windows i guess. Im looking for one product that suits all my video and music playing needs if such a software exists.
Im new to Linux and the only thing i have found is XMMS but im having a hard time installing it?!?!
BTW I am running FC8 and i use the KDE desktop.
I have all my music on another HD which is actualy my old NTFS. I was able to mount it and i can play music with movie player but........

Well it certainly works. Though it would be nice if there were other skins or a way to make the player itself smaller on the screen.

Any others?

I used the DVD setup from the unofficial fedora faq. It works good and you don't have to change your default player in gconf

I like totem-xine for video playback too. Though it isn't the greatest for large audio libraries. For my audio I use exaile.

EDIT: For extremely low resolution video I use vlc, the post processing helps alot.
