I'm running Hentges 3.5.4.1 on my SL-5500. I'm having some problems listening to mp3s and oggs. Since my commute is so long, I listen to a lot of podcasts.
XMMS only plays about half of the mp3 files that I listen to (oggs are fine), so I have had to fall back on opie-mediaplayer. This app plays all of the files (mp3 and ogg), but it takes a long time to start up, and I get a lot of segvs...When I stop it, when I try to skip tracks, when it tries to go to the next track, etc.
I have tried other alternatives, like mpg123/mpg321, but traffic what it is in the DC area, I need something I can pause to catch traffic reports. The kernel in 3.5.4.1 has an issue with resuming after pause from the cancel button.
Does anyone either have an alternative player suggestion or a fix for xmms or opie-mediaplayer?
Thanks,

mplayer should work, and it can be paused with a keypress.
It is command line of course.

Thanks Si...I don't know why I didn't think of mplayer. I don't mind command line, as long as I can pause it without having to try to suspend from the menu.
Speaking of mplayer on the Z, I found a great conversion script. Over the last year and a half or so since I had my Z, It was written for the Nokia 770, but you can use it. Its called [a href=\"http://bleb.org/software/770/]770-encode.pl[/url], about halfway down the page. I have been getting 700MB movies down to around 100MB.
