Too late, I already tried it. :D Not a bad little program, but two things disqualify it for me. 1: The afore-mentioned lack of audio CD support 2: The apparent inability to handle compressed wav files 9see soundamerica.com for an example of what I mean). The majority of my sound and music files are in that compressed format, and I really do not feel like uncompressing them at this time. Also, I could not get the Function-Key controls to work when running it while logged in via a telnet or SSH session, (though switching the KV switch over to that system and logging in directly allowed me to operate the program normally). I'm sure that problem is just a matter of configuring my telnet client (PuTTY) properly. I'll keep trying other players until I find just the right one. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
