Whenever the system is busy, and I'm playing an mp3 file ... the sound get's jerky, as it's interrupted by other tasks and apparantly not able to keep the sound continuous. Is anyone else experiencing this, anyone know a cure?

Change the scheduling priorities of the mp3 player & the offending jobs with nice(1) ? (nice the interrupting stuff down or the player up or both)

Nice and dandy, except for one thing ... the program in question is juk, and it's started via the KDE menus. To use nice, I have to start it through a konsole ... I'd prefer not to, but I guess I got no choice, huh. Maybe that's the next wish for KDE, to add support to nice windows ... or perhaps that's already done?

Yeb, can do ... there's just one minor problem. Iff I want to increase the priority, I need to run the program as root ... Oh well, guess I'm just nagging ... :-)
Regards Frank
Thanks for the tip.

menus, yes I think that's a problem. I think you could do it if it was an icon on your desktop, they have a properties tab & I *think* you can get them to start niced there by modifying the command that is executed.
