I had some problems with XMMS just to get a song into the play list. I had to force an update but now that I can get the mp3 to "play" the 2.30 min song only takes 15 sec to go from start to finish and no sound is emitted from my speaker. I know the sound board works because I can hear the mp3's on real Real Player. Any suggestions? Mac __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Win a $20,000 Career Makeover at Yahoo!
