On this episode we talk about video and audio players and answer that burning question, “How do I listen to my MP3 files under Linux?”. That’s right, audio codecs. Why they are not found by default in most Linux distributions and how to find what you need for a full audio/visual experience. The main video and audio players covered are cross platform and can be enjoyed by users running Linux, Windows and OSX.
