You could potentially get away with just using Nautilus - the file manager in GNOME 2 - as that plays sound files as soon as you move your mouse over them but there is another app I struggle to remember the name of right now but its been discussed on this list before so someone will remember it if it doesn't come to me.

The app that I think would be best suited to what he wants to do is a audio file preview app thats pretty new so its not in any of the big distro repos that I know of yet but it displays visual previews of all samples contained within specified folders and you can play them back by clicking on the preview - its the 'name that app' challenge!

I am looking for some instant sound board software that I can install on a Linux machine.

Basically, I need a GUI interface with buttons (or rows of buttons) where I can play out MP3s in rapid succession out the soundcard.

Here are good examples in Mac OSX

or in Windows

But for the life of me I am unable to find a Linux soundboard program. Shouldn't be complicated and I must be a moron, so can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance,
