I have 200 FLAC files that I encoded off of CDs on the Windows part of my machine. I want to be able to play them in both OSs. I can play in in Windows (WinAMP with plugin for FLAC) but I can't get any program to play them in Linux. I looked on flac.sourceforge.net and saw that XMMS was supposed to have support for FLAC but when I try to play a FLAC file in the latest version of XMMS, it won't play. I also looked on xmms.org and can't find one mention of the word "FLAC" even when I run a Google search on the xmms site. Does anyone know how I can play the FLAC files either in XMMS or in any other Linux program? Thanks!
I installed BMP from the BMPWiki and I can't run it. I installed both the main and plugin rpms for SUSE and haven't yet been able to run the program from the K Menu. I also still can't install the plugin because it still can't see that BMP is >= 0.9 even though it is.
open a terminal and type beep-media-player to run it. You will need devel packages of BMP (or xmms) to compile the plugin. Another option is to use yast to see i there's available a rpm for xmms-flac (in FC3 exists).
I have been looking on Google: http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&lr...=Google+Search and still haven;t found anything. Some of those links don't work. I did dl one rpm of flac-xmms and it said it needed a library which I couldn't find anywhere so I installed anyway and it didn't help. I now uninstalled. I don't know why a plugin isn't posted on the xmms.org plugin section.
I can't seem to open that link. I saw an result from pbone.net but I couldn't open it. I am using Mozilla Firefox 1 but I also tried it in Konqueror...
Just download the FLAC files from the main site. It comes with XMMS plugin. All you need is the devel packages or header files (*.h) of XMMS. The configure in FLAC's directory will detect if you have the header files for XMMS and it will compile the decoder, encoder, and XMMS plugin. Also mplayer can handle FLAC files, but you need to recompile mplayer if you install it before using FLAC.
Wait...Do I need to reinstall XMMS after installing FLAC?
btw, I got that pbone rpm and it downloaded but then it said I needed an ID3 rpm. So I tried to install it but I already have a newer version installed and to install the other one,. I would have to downgrade k3b
I installed that package and XMMS finally saw it and now I can play my FLAC files. Everything seems to work... The only thing I notice is that the music sounds muffled and I don't see any settings anywhere that change that. I have looked in KAMix, XMMS and the XMMS Equalizer.
Thanks a lot guys! You all helped me out a lot. ;-)
