Title: Adding Sound
Post by: ddjolley on June 15, 2005, 08:53:03 pm

OK.  I'm giving up on ogg123 (included in vorbis-tools).  I think it must be broken; and, I suspect that the reason it's not an issue is that no one uses it.  So, I want to add the capability to play ogg files from my SL-5500 running Opie.  Being able to play MP3s would be nice frosting on the cake.  Since I've given up on ogg123, what package should I use?  I think that I was probably trying to blaze new trails with ogg123.  Probably not a good idea for someone with my experience.  I want to stay mainstream and run something that a lot of people are running and is known to work.  Suggestions?  Thanks.

I don't know about ogg, but for in general the options are opie-mediaplayer2, xmms and mplayer. I've no idea which of those will play oggs I'm afraid.

Xmms imho is the easiest to install to play oggs... and oggs (or mp3s) sound good using it.

Agreed. XMMS and mplayer will both play ogg (I encode all of my movies in ogm, DivX video + ogg audio), but I generally play audio through the xmms gui.

Not sure about how opie-mediaplayer2 works, since I have never had any luck getting it to play correctly.

Great suggestion!  It worked great out of the box.  I have a few things to figure out yet like how to play random selections from a list; but, it's working just fine on both mp3 and ogg files.

Thanks for the input.
