If 0.8 it will play mp3 with gstreamer-mad. After installing that run gst-register-0.8 in console as normal user. If 0.10 i thimk you need gstreamer-0.10-fluendo-mp3. The gst command is not necassary voor v0.10. I no go, give quod-libet a try. Hans -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
