What does the more simple command line program "play" return. I have seen play be vocal about files it cannot decode. For example I have a file: ..../newmail/sounds/Notify.wav At the command line I do: play ..../newmail/sounds/Notify.wav and I see: .../newmail/sounds/Notify.wav: Sorry, this WAV file is in MPEG Layer 3 format. Since I do not have a MPEG Layer 3 plugin right now this makes sense. The point is that the suffix is .wav but it it mp3 File is also useful for many file types: file ..../newmail/sounds/Notify.wav ..../newmail/sounds/Notify.wav: RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, MPEG Layer 3, mono 11025 Hz Regards. tom -- T o m M i t c h e l l /dev/null the ultimate in secure storage.
