Pretty sure the player you saw was gqmpeg, a front end to mpg123. It is
themeable, and the grey circle is one of the many themes available for it
- there are better ones.

Go to http://gqview.netpedia.net/mpeg-over.html and download it. Don't
forget to download the themes - IMHO the default one is sucky!

If you use enlightenment with gnome, check out Empg123 also. The url is
http://dragon.acadiau.ca/~015940b/escripts/ (did some work on that one
myself).

Tom.
