Another solution is to go to www.codeweavers.com and download their Crossover plugin. The installer will automatically download and configure Windows Media Player 6.4 and configure your Browsers (Mozilla/Konqueror/Opera) to use WMP for embedded media streams.
It works absolutlely great, with the added benefit of also allowing you to run Apple Quicktime, Macromedia Flash 6, Macromedia Shockwave, Microsoft Word/Excel/Powerpoint Viewers plus several other Windows applications. Crossoverplugin cost $25 or so, but the demo version is free. The only difference is the demo will cover the player with a panel every 30 seconds asking you to buy the full version. If you are only using it to play audio streams that of course is not a problem :-) derek On Saturday 18 May 2002 6:53 am, Lyvim Xaphir wrote: > On Fri, 2002-05-17 at 19:21, Thomas Beno wrote: > > I have only recently become acquainted with Linux through Mandrake-Linux > > 8.2.
