Thanks to everyone who suggested ideas for playing music now the problem is mp3's , I know my music is working but I am having problems with X11amp to play my mp3 i downloaded I know it's downloaded o.k I can add it in the list in X11amp but not listen to it.
Are there any other good simple MP3 players individuals can recommend for Redhat 6.0 using Gnome or KDE
Finally I have never managed to workout mounting my floppy drive.
Thanks for offering time to help me
Regards
Scott Taylor

XMMS. X11amp is just a very old xmms.
Xmms 1.0.1 is fairly good.

Kmpg works fine, and it comes with KDE!
Finally I have never managed to workout mounting my floppy drive.
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy (assuming it's a DOS disk)
Make sure you've created the /mnt/floppy directory

In XMMS (as X11amp became), you might need to make sure that it's using the right output plugin. I have "esd" selected for playing under Gnome, but you might find that you need OSS or ALSA, depending on your sound system. I have no idea how KDE's sound works now.

mpg123 (and graphical frontends like gqmpeg) is quite good. Actually, I think XMMS's mp3 player is based on it.

The problem with mpg123 is that you're not allowed to distribute modified source (or binaries?), which is a pain in the arse.

As far as I can tell, only modified source is excluded (although patches aren't, so you could do a modifying package, which makes a nonsense of the restriction IMO). It's like the Artistic with several clauses missing and aimed at keeping the author in control/informed. Almost certainly doesn't meet the OSD or DFSG, I'd guess.

Yeah, my problem was that I needed some code for a GPLd project which worked out bitrates of mp3s (see muse on www.earth.li/projectpurple) for a streamer.
I think I just found it somewhere else in the end, but mpg123 has by far the best mp3 player code under linux.
