Cheers to one and all ... sure to find a solution amongst that lot.

Sorry to disagree but Amarok is a a better audio player then Kaffeine

Good to disagree. Kaffeine works using std. xine and mplayer
libraries. IIRC Aramok does not.

I think you interpreted multimedia player to mean audio
player. Maybe it's just a matter of taste.

Amarok can show you information about a record being played, about a
musician/group. Amarok can automatically display the text of a song, on
the fly.
In amarok I can direct output to any of my two sound cards.
Through klineak i configured my A4TECH multimedia keyboard to change
volume, skip to next song, pause and play, change volume in Amarok, all
directly by pressing buttons on a keyboard. It took me a minute cause it
was already pre-configured.
Amarok makes navigation through all your collection, through hundreds of
albums, artists, many genres, a breeze.

Now, tell me how to do it in kaffeine...

Huh, Amarok uses standard libraris also:

(1) Xine backend: libxine

(2) Gstreamer backend: gstreamer

(3) Helix backend: helix engine

(4) aRTs backend: aRTs

(5) NMM backend: NMM (Networked multimedia)

etc. Also mplayer is *not* a library.
