User Feedback :: New Media player in .9.0

I.m kind of sad to see XMMS go, I know it's downloadable as a extention, but still miss it just the same. Does the new DSL Media player support Shoutcast .pls streaming audio?

Every time there is a new release of dsl someone has to make a sad face. I just checked, xmms.dsl is 666k, while firefox.tar.gz is 8241k, what would you rather download?

Isn't the new "player" just a flua wrapper for mpg123, ogg321, and mplayer?

In answer to your question, no, it won't do shoutcast streaming.

It might do .m3u streaming, like edna provides, but I haven't tried it yet.

My connection isn't fast or stable enough for streaming, so I really don't miss that too much. But I do wish there was a way to (easily) point the new player at a different directory, like my fat32 partition that holds my music.

I suppose I could replace the media folder with a symlink to the right place...

Or you could just use emelfm and navigate to your collection of mp3's or mpgs and then double click.

Yes, but will all of them be loaded into some sore to playlist, or will I have to double click for every new song?
