Ah, I missed that package at the top of the thread - didn't look close enough and thought it was an earlier package

Ok, I installed xhippo-lamip.pet and the wma plays as it should

Only negative thing is that I now have two xhippo entries in the Multimedia menu. Could that be due to installing the packages in the wrong order?

Those two dotpet packages each had their own *.desktop file, so I suggest you first delete /usr/share/applications/xhippo-3.3-gtk2.desktop.

JWM's configuration file has already been updated with 2 xhippo entries, so I suggest you next modify /root/.jwmrc in Geany to delete one of the entries.
Restart X and you should be good.

Ok, tempestuous, all is good now Thanks

BTW, I'm running big_bass' SlaxerPup-4.12 (2.6.27.7 SMP kernel) at the moment and xhippo runs fine in it.

Hmm, I wonder if xhippo runs with a lower CPU load in this puplet compared to Barry's stock 4.12?

Well, running on my 2.66GHz Core2Duo box, top reports 0% CPU for lamip when running either aac, ogg or wma files! I should check on the eBox-2300 instead. I'll check and report back...

UPDATE June 2012:
Both xhippo dotpet packages now updated to version 3.5; the gui+lampi backend package in the 1st post, and the gui-only package in the 5th post.
The main difference, apparently, is improved ID3 tag reading.
And the location of the configuration file has changed - /usr/local/etc/xhippo.config

I also updated the mpg123 dotpet to version 1.14.2.

Here are two 48x48 desktop icons that you could consider using for xhippo.
