Getting Monkey’s Audio Codec (*.ape) files to play in xmms

Filed under: Linux — hal9000 @ 9:09 pm

I’m a bit of a music lover and I prefer lossless formats over anything else.I needed to get MAC files to play nice with xmms.A quick search led me to http://sourceforge.net/projects/mac-port/
Once I compiled both packages a quick restart of xmms was all I needed to get sound.

Been using HellaNZB to download all my NZB files lately for newsgroups. It works wonders, downloads, par2 verifies and extracts. Leaves me with nothing else to do but watch/listen/run what I downloaded.
