While XMMS was good, and Rythmnbox brings title/artist management to the activity, I was wondering if anyone has heard of _real_ tools for making the most of .ogg files.
In particular, I remember hearing about multi-track abilities, the ability to encode lyrics and so on. Is anyone really trying to code that yet, or have I just not been paying attention?
:)
Thanks!

Well, it _is_, it's just not going to be the standard, I suppose. I used it for many, many years with great success. But there _is_ something to be said for the management that it does.
But I still am not a fan of the 'shuffle' that it does...
I just can't wait to be able to, for example, encode the lyrics into the music so I can keep it in one place....or encode effects and such into the music.
Anyone working on this?

Tis open source, what should shuffle do that it does not?

It's called IMMS; it's really good, even though it uses some other SQL system where I'd prefer Mysql, 'cause I'm used to it, and can reference it from PHP. While I can fake my way around in PHP, I'm no C programmer; I was merely a newbie in 1989. (!)
There's a similar situation with Galeon & Firefox; Galeon, while it has every feature I've ever needed and a couple more, isn't as modular and (from what real programmers tell me) is hard to develop with, where Firefox represents a re-write using all Gnome-specific stuff (whatever that amounts to). The idea is that Firefox is more portable across platforms, so it makes a better strategic choice.
Now, I'd love to live in a world where XMMS and Galeon are the only choices, but it looks like 'the herd' is headed elsewhere. I suppose I'll just get used to the idea.

apt-get install xmms-real-random ?
Worked for me.

Synaptic does not show this package for me. I have configured:
rpm http://ayo.freshrpms.net/ fedora/linux/2/i386 core updates freshrpms rpm http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora.us/fedora/ fedora/2/i386 os stable updates rpm http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/macromedia/apt/ fedora/2 macromedia rpm http://rpm.livna.org/ fedora/2/i386 stable
for my repos. What am I missing? And will it play nicely with the above?

It's in Dag Wieers apt repository.
To get at it, add this to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
### Dag RPM Repository for Fedora Core 2 rpm http://apt.sw.be fedora/2/en/i386 dag

On that thread, I'd love to see bitrate peeling implemented.
There was a lot of hype when it was announced, but there hasn't been a single application I know of that supports it and I'm tired of having to re-encode everything for my zaurus!
