Running Applications Part IV
Start the XMMS audio player by selecting Sound & Video???Audio Player or by typing xmms from
a Terminal window. Figure 20-5 shows the XMMS audio player with the associated equalizer (to
the left) and the Playlist Editor (to the right).
FIGURE 20-5
Play Ogg Vorbis and other audio files from the XMMS playlist.
As noted earlier, you can play several audio file formats. Supported formats include:
 MP3 (with added plug-in)
 Ogg Vorbis
 WAV
 AU
 CD audio
 CIN movies
If XMMS is not able to find a configured sound card, it redirects its output to the Disk
Writer plug-in. This causes the files you play to be written to hard disk as WAV files.
You can get many more audio plug-ins from www.xmms.org. The XMMS audio player can be used
in the following way:
1. Obtain music files by ripping songs from a CD or copying them from the Web so that
they are in an accessible directory, or by inserting a music CD in your CD-ROM drive.
(XMMS expects the CD to be accessible from /dev/cdrom.)
2. From the applications menu, select Sound & Video???Audio Player. The X Multimedia
System player appears.
