Really ?  See below.

You posted cc'd to both
         freebsd-multime @FreeBSD.ORG, freebsd-hardw @FreeBSD.ORG
which is Not approved, if in doubt send commands such as
        help
        info questions
        info hardware
        info multimedia
        info ports
through the mail list to
        majord @freebsd.org
& read the definitions of the lists you subscribed & posted to.
Your question seemed more appropriate to questions@ &/or multimedia@,
rather than hardware@
If you dont know what cross posting is, enroll at classes for internet basics.

You originally posted (entire post) as follows:

You seemed a clueless novice ( no offence intended - everyone's clueless
sometimes, just that some are prepared to learn, & some not ) with no idea
where or how to look, so as on freebsd mail lists many prefer to help people
learn how to research their own questions, rather than support clueless
burdens for ever, I told you, (& for note by others who often also don't
know about pib & ports/INDEX either) how to help yourself look for your own
ports/ answers:
        cd /usr/ports/sysutils/pib; make install ; rehash ; pib
        Or      vi -c/mp3 /usr/ports/INDEX
Another poster helpfully added:
        Or      cd /usr/ports ; make search key=mp3

I didn't check out content of those 10 ports, that's your problem &
your work to do, not mine.
Even if all the 10 ports don't do what you want, if you go to
the 10 /usr/ports/ directories listed by the commands above, type
        make expand
then examine the source & doc files contained, & go to the web
sites supporting those software packages, you will find pointers
to software that does do what you need, without consuming mail list
bandwidth & volunteer attempted helper time on such a basic & easily
researched personal search.

Next time you want some software, use the FreeBSD search tools first, &
when you post, if you tell us where you've researched already, we'll know
where not to waste time suggesting things you've already tried.

Use the search methods I & the other chap detailed.  If you don't try to help
yourself, as detailed, conclusions may be drawn as to wether or not you are
a burden worth helping, on this or future problems.

And how exactly does this answer my question?  It doesn't.

Huh?
