The file is .swf and will not open on the applications I have with Ubuntu 8.04. Could someone point me in the right direction please. ffmpeg with the correct codecs should be able to decode the audio into something you can use. You might need the version from the mediabunta repo. Hope this helps. Huw -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/

There is no shockwave player for Linux - full stop. One way I've got around things like this is to do this:- Install WINE Go to mozilla website and download installer for Firefox for _windows_ Run the firefox for windows installer under WINE Go to Adobe site in Firefox for Windows under WINE - Install flash plugin - Install shockwave plugin Visit evil website that uses shockwave plugin Winner! Hope that helps.

Thanks every one for your help and advice. I think that perhaps I did not state my question correctly. I have no problem in listening to the file and I can save it to the hard drive. What I would like to do is transfer it to a CD so that a person without a computer can listen to it. Is that possible?

What I would like to do is transfer it to a CD so that a person without a computer can listen to it. Is that possible? You could try installing Audacity, open it up and set it recording. Then play back this file. It should record what it's playing into Audacity (if it doesn't you may need to play around with the record source in the mixer device to set it to something like Stereo Mix). If it does work, save the file as a .WAV/.MP3/.OGG etc and then burn that file to disk as an audio CD (not data CD) with K3b, Brasero or insert favourite CD writing software here. Thank you I will give it a try. Norman -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.org/UKTeam/
