Thanks for the reply Dex (and Bart). I'm aware of the xmms-mp3 rpm, and of course, that is a fine solution. The reasons I did it like I did are, restoring my local copy of xmms-1.2.9 didn't require a download, didn't need to enable/disable a plugin, didn't need to concern myself with whether xmms-mp3 would still work with the next update, etc. - -- Charles Howse Jackson, TN Registered Linux user # 347576 (http://counter.li.org) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAYvJX/S+VsB9RMKgRArRFAJ43u/BDuGufSrsNBsFVhGzlmSSqOACeL+M5 MD3hhmsFZsn8fO/5wSGTDDE= =BWJG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
