Does anyone know of an mp3 player that will work in linux (redhat 5.0 for
me) running on a 486 DX4/100? I've downloaded x11amp and a couple of
others but they all seem to need a pentium.
Thanks.

BTW, boycott MP3's. They are not an open standard and are the worst
example of how software patents are WRONG.

Since when are'nt MP3s an open standard?
Are you referring to the fact that the encoding of MP3s isn't open
standard?
If so, you have a valid point.

Try mpg123 - there is a patch to optimize it for 486 prozessors.Quote:> Does anyone know of an mp3 player that will work in linux (redhat 5.0 for

Try mpg123. It claims to need pentium too, but I was able to use
it on 486DX2-66 doing kernel compilation at the same time.
It has options, which allows to reduce sampling rate. If you downsample
it two times, it would work quite well on idle machine. If you use --mono
switch AND downsample two times, it would manage even if there is
kernel compilation or heavy TeX job running.
: Thanks.

Hey, my 486 DX2/50 plays MP3s. But only under Linux (my other OSs must beQuote:>>Uh, it's not that there is something special about the code that

Anyway, whoever asked the question in the first place should be fine with a
DX4. (Well, fine from my point of view.)
1. Performance Increase: 486/DX2 66 to 486/DX4 100
I'd like to know what kind of a performance increase I can
expect by swapping my 486/DX2 66 for an AMD 486/DX4 100, and by getting a
motherboard (VLB) with 256K cache (my current board has no external
cache).
Also, how much of an increase would I get over the above by
putting in a 486/DX5 120? And how much more would it cost me?
3. Linux hates AMD DX4-100 & ASUS PVI-486 SP3?
5. 486 DX2-66 => DX4-100 in a laptop.
6. Subscribe
7. need advice with Cyrix/IBM 486 DX4 100
9. AMD DX4/120 vs. INTEL DX4/100
10. 486 MP3 player
11. mp3 player for 486DX/100 32 MB
12. RedHat 6.1 / Gnome /Enlightenment dx4-100
