Audio Applications Support for Various Audio and Video Formats So, the xmms application can be used to play audio CDs in the same way as Gnome-CD. The real benefits come from using the application to play other audio and video formats, such as MP3s, which may exist on media other than a CD. For example, you may keep your MP3 collection on your hard disk, in which case you may use the Play Directory feature of XMMS. Note By default Red Hat has disabled the ability for XMMS to play MP3 files; however, this capability can be reinstated and is discussed later on in this section. You can extend the capabilities of the xmms application using plug-ins, which can be enabled and configured using the Preferences dialog. To get to the Preferences dialog, right-click on the main xmms window and select Options | Preferences: You’ll notice that the dialog contains a number of tabs - these tabs allow you to configure various plug-ins and include Audio, Visualization, and General options. We’ll concentrate on Audio plug-ins and allow you to play with the others. There are a number of plug-ins already installed, and these plug-ins cover the following audio sources: Audio CD-ROMs (using libcaudio.so) .mod files (using libmikmod.so) .wav files (using libwav.so) .ogg files (using libvorbis.so) 150
