hopefully helpful, Lee
I like amaroK better anyway ;) Jon
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, Jon success here with xmms!
I started experimenting after I saw your last mail with xmms. I noticed it wouldn't even load a mp3 file, it just kicked them out, plus if I loaded a playlist of mp3's, which it would do, I found, when I hit the play button, it just run through the files without playing them! I came to the conclusion there must still be some SuSE provided files installed that was blocking the use of xmms & mp3. I went into YaST2 to investigate and found all xmms files installed were Packman builds except one. The xmms-plugins (suse) conflicted with xmms-lib-mad (packman), so I removed the suse package, installed only Packman builds and there ya go! XMMS now plays & loads without problems, although I still think they need to update it to GTK+ look. Lee
