K I have a easy one for U programers.

I installed Redhat 8.0 then installed winamp. Where did win amp go? Sounds dumb but I cant seem to fimd it.

 

[Redbird400]

Ok I found it in usr/local/winamp.exe but it doesnt open. I'll keep trying stuff.

I don't see a version of winamp for linux listed on the website.

Chances are, if it has a .exe extension, it's not a Linux executable. You've probably installed the Win32 program. In any regard, as smah has said, Winamp isn't available for Linux.

Try XMMS:

http://www.xmms.org/

Also, many mp3 players for Linux are based on mpg123. The mpg123 site has many links to other programs. Go to

http://www.mpg123.org/

and take a look at the "Links to related information" section. ______________________________________________________________________

When I download from that site, I get an RPM, not an .exe
Are sure you've got the right file? As sleipnir214 said, exe's are pretty much windows only.

 

[Redbird400]

Well It did first come as an RMP but after I clicked it it put a winamp.exe in /usr/local

Redbird400,

I would be very cautious about that software. The last time I checked, WinAmp was not open-source -- which makes me very curious about the code from which this app comes.

Also, why isn't the software's being distributed from the WinAmp site?

Third, even if I could resolve the first two issues, this software is alpha 1 release. This is very experimental code.

I strongly recommend that you find a more mature product -- I have had good success with XMMS. ______________________________________________________________________

Yeah Think I gave up on the winamp Idea. I'll try that XMMS.

According to Nullsoft, makers of WinAmp, they are currently working on a Linux port for WinAmp3. No timetable given though.
