/dev/dsp should be a link to a real device like /dev/dsp0 (on my 9.1 system). I have no 9.2 handy now. who is the owner and what are the permissions of that /dev/dspx? Sunny

RCA Lyra, My wife has the new one, and I have the original. You need to run Musicmatch Jukebox in order to put MP3s into the thing (Load it). Musicmatch Jukebox is the PC componant of a dozen or so different MP3 players - they use a modular "portable MP3 manager' approach that a lot of MP3 player manufacturers have signed onto, rather than having to develop their own software.

Oh but no...... we have a couple of Lyra's here.... they do operate a bit differently (one is 64mb and the other 128mb) but they both load fine using normal USB storage stuff.... I've never even put the RCA CD in a drive.... :-)

I've tried Musicmatch jukebox with wine... It _ALMOST_ works. <sigh>. And I've got no choice about using MM - if I want to put MP3 files into the player, I need to use MM.

My wife and I use RCA Lyras - I have the original model, she has the newest one. Aside from that, there's another reason we can't scrap MM. I have a large music system here - Edna server, dedicated computer wired into the house stereo, and so on - I've loaded every bit of music we had - from vinyl and 8" reels onward, over 10K tracks - into it. And MM is what we use for the library manager. If it's down to rebuilding all of that or using windows, it's hello windows - as much as I don't want to.

who is the owner and what are the permissions of that /dev/dspx?
Hmmm. That's odd. Here's the info as of a few minutes ago, when I haven't been fooling with it for a few hours.
ls -l /dev/dsp* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Jan 22 13:45 /dev/dsp -> dsp0 crw------- 1 root audio 14, 3 Oct 2 04:38 /dev/dsp0 crw------- 1 root audio 14, 19 Oct 2 04:38 /dev/dsp1 crw------- 1 root audio 14, 35 Oct 2 04:38 /dev/dsp2 crw------- 1 root audio 14, 51 Oct 2 04:38 /dev/dsp3 crw-rw---- 1 root root 55, 0 Oct 2 04:38 /dev/dsp56k
What I'm finding interesting was that when I checked it yesterday (when I was actively trying things), everything was rwxrwxrwx (owners etc. were the same). I wonder how and when it changed? and WHY?
Oh well - as it turns out, it doesn't matter - I set them all back to rwxrwxrwx and nothing changed.
I'm really regretting having purchased vmware at this point - the whole idea was to be able to load my mp3 player without having to go to windows. It used to work, IIRC, under SuSE 9.1
You don't have to change them all. On my system: sunny@linux:~> ls -l /dev/dsp* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 2004-10-05 22:29 /dev/dsp -> dsp0 crw------- 1 sunny audio 14, 3 2004-04-06 08:27 /dev/dsp0 crw------- 1 sunny audio 14, 19 2004-04-06 08:27 /dev/dsp1 crw------- 1 sunny audio 14, 35 2004-04-06 08:27 /dev/dsp2 crw------- 1 sunny audio 14, 51 2004-04-06 08:27 /dev/dsp3 crw-rw---- 1 root root 55, 0 2004-04-06 08:27 /dev/dsp56k
Same as mine.
Also, make sure your user belongs to "audio" group. As well, go in the Control Center/Sound&Multimedia/Sound System. There on General Tab is Auto-Suspend section. Enable Auto-Suspend, and make the idle time something small, like 1 or 2 secs.
Already did that.
And ... this is stupid, but just need to ask, have you installed VMWare Tools on your guest system?
8-)> Yes.
Btw, what you mean to load your MP3 player? What is it? Why not use something linux native, or wine?
I've tried Musicmatch jukebox with wine... It _ALMOST_ works. <sigh>. And I've got no choice about using MM - if I want to put MP3 files into the player, I need to use MM.
MM has a 'portable manager' module that a whole bunch of MP3 player manufacturers have signed up to use for the desktop componant of their portables. RCA, Thompson, Compaq, and a whole slew others. My wife and I use RCA Lyras - I have the original model, she has the newest one.
Aside from that, there's another reason we can't scrap MM. I have a large music system here - Edna server, dedicated computer wired into the house stereo, and so on - I've loaded every bit of music we had - from vinyl and 8" reels onward, over 10K tracks - into it. And MM is what we use for the library manager. If it's down to rebuilding all of that or using windows, it's hello windows - as much as I don't want to.
I'd infinitely prefer to get vmware to work properly.

Once MusicMatch had a linux project, but they have abandon it. One way or another, I have found it on the web, so you may give it a try.

Downloading it now. If nothing else, maybe I'll learn something.

P.S. Yes. it'll be good for VMWare to work though. But without any logfiles, and sequence of actions you perform it is really hard to go further.
I'll see what vmware support has to say, if and when they get back to me. They're taking their own time, I'll say that. I'd expected better for my $190.00 US. As for the logfiles - ARGH. The vm-support script hangs up after about 35 seconds, with no useful output. Mike- -- Mornings: Evolution in action.
