WMP Alternative

**Spatcher** · 08-16-2005, 06:20 PM

Is there something like WMP, that can play net streams, .wmv and .wma stuff? I can't find anything to play .acx or something like that (for KBON an online Cajun station) but WMP can play it.

I think this could do it....VLC. I haven't used it personally but I hear good reports about it.

Real player can also play net streams as well as .wmv and .wma files.

mplayer is an open source, skinnable player that can handle .asx streams

Kmplayer (beta version, I think) http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Multi...yer-2220.shtml

I had tried mplayer before, and I just redid it, but I had to install the mplayer plug in (a pain at that) to listen to it in Firefox, and after some serious terminalling (lol!!!!!!! I just copied the codes from fedoraforum!!!!!!!!!!!) it works..... YAY!!!!!!!

Thread Solved!
