Netscape and mp3-files
I am trying to download mp3-files from the internet, but netscape (4.7.1) quits when I try to do that. Although Netscape reports that it has the plug-ins to play streaming mp3-files, it also refuses to do that. Is there any cure to do this? I have also tried a beta version of opera, but without any success. It feels stupid. I do not know how to get a mp3 file from the internet to my computer. I have also tried lynx and links without success. I have installed mpg123 and freeamp and have also tried to use them as plug-ins, but there was still no success. I did the same with rvplayer. Any help would be welcome. Is it worth while to download 12 meg of files to upgrade to Netscape 4.7.2 on a dialup-connection? Johann -- J.H.

If you won't run Linux, I'd say, give it a try... Regards, Joey -- Unix is user friendly ... It's just picky about its friends. Please always Cc to me when replying to me on the lists.
Re: Netscape and mp3-files
I had success with the linux version of RealPlayer. Still, I had to setup netscape to use it for streaming. There was a url that I bumped into on my searches through deja.com that had step by step instructions to setup the netscape plugin. Maybe someone here has the url?

Johann -- I have pretty good experiences w/ 4.72. It's almost stable. Some (few) websites will cause it to crash, saying bus error, (something like that...) Never had any trouble w/ downloading stuff, though I don't do very much mp3 :) hth Vitux -- I'm not a crook Richard Nixon Debian GNU/Linux Micro$loth-free Zone
