So, hopefully, you should now have some MP3 files ready to play.
The two most popular MP3 players for Linux are Xaudio, and Xmms (formerly known as X11Amp).
Links to the homepages of both players can be found in section 7.
I've based this HOWTO around my use of xaudio, primarily because I can use it with or without being in X.
The program is shareware.
Xaudio is a suite of programs, of most interest to us are xaudio and mxaudio.
After installing the files onto your system, you have the choice or running either the command line version, xaudio, or the X version mxaudio.
Mxaudio has a nice interface, and is straightforward to use.
Xaudio's options can be viewed by running the program with the -help option (xaudio -h).
To play a track try xaudio track.mp3
To play a whole directory, xaudio *.mp3
Both programs have README files.
