That's nice.. what is the question ?

what type of media files are you trying to play ?

mplayer and VLC cover most types of media files...

If you have a broadband connection, then install all of Kaffeine, Amarok, Xine, KMplayer, SMplayer, Lame, libmad, XMMS, KAudioCreator, k3b, Audacious, soundconvertor, Alsaplayer, some codecs,... then enjoy

there are lots more!

Vlc will handel it all but also install mplayer as well for its firefox plugins.

If you're missing some of the multimedia plugins, take a look at http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:H...on_Hardy_Heron (on the assumption you're using hardy)

O.K. this is for all those ubuntu (8.10) newbies (...like me!) who rack their brains (and nerves) poring over their search machines desperately looking for a way to make Amarok (great application but what a nerve trial..) play some decent streams from the web. Look no further.
Just open a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install libxine1-plugins
