![]() This got to me in the end so I switched it over. So, when I first switched to Linux, I didn't initially switch this machine over, but left it running Win98. Despite what you might think, the output was awesome with headphones - it could give me a good headache or two without distorting at all. In my setup I had a machine set aside for media playback because it had a SB16 in it, and I'd run it with the bass set to 100% and treble set to 0%. And as I said before, it's closed source, so not much can be done there. However, XMPlay has no Linux version, and as far as I can see, no porting is planned. I used it across my transition from Win98 to XP, and also used it on a Win95 laptop - and I don't even think I had to "help" the system "like" the player to make it work, although I could be wrong. The timing was just perfect and I "grew" into my "media years" with this player. It was Winamp first, which I liked but found a little much, but a few coincidences later found XMPlay, a free but closed-source media player capable of playing not only some weird file formats such as MO3, MOD, IT, XM, S3M etc, of which I have a few files in this format, but also MP3, OGG, WAV, and all the other general stuff out there. When I really started to get into listening to music I was still using Windows. I come from a very cushioned past media-wise. The background that will give you insight into my situation but doesn't need to be read
