I look at it once in a while, and I still haven't figured it out. (Fedora 8) I have the xmms-mp3 plugin installed from Livna, and xmms plays mp3 files wonderfully well. I have "audio player" selected as the program to use in Nautilus to open mp3 files. When I double-click on a mp3 files, xmms loads but then just sits there showing the name of the last mp3 file that I played and not the one that I just clicked on. xmms works as expected from the commandline. For example, I just tried this command: xmms moccasin\ road\ monday.mp3 That loaded the file "moccasin road monday.mp3" and it immediately started playing. Clicking on the "moccasin road monday.mp3" file on my desktop loads xmms and I see "WINTERFEST MIX 01" in the window on xmms and that's it. If I hit the play button on xmms, it starts playing "winterfest mix 01.mp3" even though that's not what I clicked on, just what I played immediately prior to now when I want to play "moccasin road monday.mp3". If I want to play "moccasin road monday.mp3" I have to select it from the file menu in xmms. </blockquote><div> Click "Open With", then choose "User command". Replace "xmms -e" for "xmms -f". That it is it. </div></div> -- Paulo Roma Cavalcanti LCG - UFRJ
