Hello, I'm looking for a good, stable media player that supports M3U playlists, and can play .aac files (Ripped by Winamp 5)

If there is such aa plaayer, could anyone point me towarrds it? I'm runniing Maandrake 10.0 if that counts for annything..

xmms is the linux answer to winamp (umm, but it looks like v3? what version of winamp was that?)

XMMS hasn't supported .aac from what I've come to know of it. I'm getting some error where it closes when I try to do anything with it anyways right now. Lemme play around with it to see if I can get it to work.

Edit: XMMS is also not handling M3U playlists like I would hope it would. Totem is currently doing a better job. If Totem would be able to handle .aac files, it would be my media player of choice.

I think you would need a plugin for that with XMMS, try getting them here:
http://xmms.org
Anyhoo, try MPlayer:
http://mplayerhq.hu
It's harder to use, but with the correct libraries and codecs, it'll support anything.

well, i haven't gotten into aac files, but it looks like xine should handle them...

or

--it says mp3, but doesn't mention m3u playlists

Well, I tried to install Mplayer, but the autodetect didn't work. This is the last thing in my configure.log
