I have both the Kindle Keyboard (Kindle 3) and the new Kindle Touch. I would really like to be able to have a playlist, or at least select several mp3s to play, or even just Random Play. I read about the mplayer hack, but it seems to do a LOT more than that. I read that the Touch is Linux Based and there are apparently several good Linux MP3 player freeware applications... but I don't know how simple it is to "add an app", once I jailbreak one of these two Kindles. Has anyone had experience with "Audacious" or similar apps?

I was also wishing I could get a cloud player to work so i could use my Amazon cloud MP3's. Isn't it strange that Amazon won't support its cloud player on any of its devices (other than the Fire?) You would think it would work on the Touch at least.
