Abhay Actually amaroK is more of a KDE application so it depends Abhay a bit on KDE for its features. For example: kmix takes care Abhay of balance while KDE in itself takes care of lirc. Also for Hmm, by that logic Amarok shouldn't have a volume control either, since I believe kmix has that too. Abhay a lirc tutorial you can look here Abhay http://amarok.kde.org/component/option,com_simpleboard/Itemid,/func,view/catid,9/id,136/#136 Thanks, that should be useful when I switch to Amarok (after it gets a balance slider, of course :) Regards, -- Raju -- Raj Mathur[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kandalaya.org/ GPG: 78D4 FC67 367F 40E2 0DD5 0FEF C968 D0EF CC68 D17F It is the mind that moves ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
