Note copied from front page of xmms.org ---------------------------------------- if you are using Redhat 8 and the supplied RPMS of XMMS you will find that it is not possible to load any mp3 files. Redhat was supposed to have a placeholder plugin informing you of the change, but that seems to have gone missing. Available >> here << is some additional information and a mpg123 RPM for Redhat 8 installation of XMMS. Hopefully, I've made myself clear on this subject, since Redhat apparently failed to get their message through. Note to Notting: egg->face Thomas Nilsson ( thomas at xmms.org ) ---------------------------------------- When you go to the site >> here << will take you to a link to get the new RPM version of XMMS. Just do a "rpm -Uvh xmms..." to install it. On my system I had to set the output plugin to be "OSS Driver 1.2.7" and now it works fine. ===== MelSeder@yahoo.com "The sooner you make five thousand mistakes, the sooner you will be able to correct them." - Kimon Nicolaides __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
