I can't for the life of me work out why you'd want to use xmms on a 486, though; it chews up enough CPU even on a fast CPU. > 3) This is very interesting ! > =20 > I installed several mp3 console players: amp,madplay and mpg123.

Impossible to say from the details you've provided. My best guess is that your CPU isn't fast enough to handle the load being placed on it. Maybe you dont have enough memory and it's swapping to disk, interrupting the mp3 playback.
