    Its definitely something not recommended to do but since my dvd writer is busted, I dont have a choice in the matter. I cant backup and clean install so had to do it that way.

    I'd say not to do that. Gentoo builds packages on demand. Having a good net connection is the best way to go with Gentoo.

    Rythembox gets the job done pretty well for me. Though my personal preference is good old MPlayer.

    you right I need to customize the music up :) some people just prefer the eq flat they dont need an eq but people like me need one :) there was one player written in python it worked very well ;) but music management is still in the same spot

    well, then you can stream out the playlist with rythembox and run it through VLC and use the EQ in VLC! :D

    all that for music?? mann :eek:
    i'd rather run winamp or foobar on WINE, :)
    too bad winamp depends on Direct Show too much if not for that it can support videos in WINE too ..but we can install DX in WINE too right? i never tried that!:shocked: gotta try
