Lightweight X-based mp3 player?
Lightweight X-based mp3 player?
I'm looking for an X-based mp3 player for my old Toshiba Satellite Pro 425CDS (Pentium 100MHz, 40MB RAM) that doesn't require a lot of system resources. XMMS makes the sound choppy and laggy. Gmplayer is still laggy/choppy but not nearly as bad as XMMS. Mplayer from a rxvt window in X plays just fine. But I was hoping to find something graphical if possible, or would that still use too many resources for this old laptop?
Thanks in advance

try running gmplayer without JWM running. Just type in the console
You could also edit xinit to exclude rox-pinboard and use even less resources. That is the best way I can think of to minimalize reasources while still in X.
Code: Select all
xwin gmplayer-darkerror

We used to have a bunch of small sound apps under the name "snack." They were pretty small and written in tcl. You can get them from Pupget still. I suggest giving it a run.
Otherwise you could probably find/write a small gui for mplayer or some other commandline mp3 player. Have the play button run the play command, etc. Just no sliding bars or anything.
