Hi, I'm running 10.5 on an upgraded G4 DA. For a variety of reasons (Ogg Vorbis support, non-iPod music player, etc.), I'd like to find a music player program to use instead of iTunes, with roughly that feature set (wma support, internet radio support, data base, etc.)

Songbird requires Intel; Amarok is still in beta. Atunes is only available as a tarball (although it runs on my PC-BSD system). Vox won't play wma's. Media Monkey is Windows only.

Has anyone else found something akin to Amarok that runs on PPC? Thanks in advance. :\

As for your first issue, why not just add Ogg support to iTunes?

As for the second, KILL THE HERETIC!! YOU MUST BE ASSIMILATED!!! :)

All kidding aside, maybe there's SOMETHING out there that does what you're looking for (hasn't Winamp threatened like 20 times to make a Mac player?), but you're kind of up against a wall; any newer and supported projects like that are increasing going to be Intel only.

Pretty sure you can run Cog too, which will play everything and is quite decent too.
