playing music using wine

[gagan_goku]

i have a dual boot system(FC3 + Win XP)
the problem is when i try to play mp3 files using real player(installed in my c:\)
the screen goes blank,then some untidy screen comes up
and after about 3 sec i am back in my shell
real never starts

vlc starts up with bad graphics but i cant hear any sound

RealPlayer has a native Linux version. There are plenty of MP3 players for Linux as well, such as XMMS, amaroK, and JuK.

I don't use RealPlayer in Linux, so I can't help you with that. Is there a particular reason you must use RealPlayer to play your MP3s? As I mentioned before, there are plenty of other MP3 players that work with Linux.

actually i want a player which can play all types of files
for example : rm,avi,mpeg,mkv etc..
since i just installed linux , i am basically used to using windows
besides real dosent seem to support playlists(or does it?)

please suggest a player which also has playlist functionality

XMMS, amaroK and JuK all come with the ability to do playlists. If you want a multiple-format media player you might do a search in this forum for xine or mplayer. They play just about any audio/video format if you download the correct codecs.
