Did some online searching and found there was an issue with gstreamer
involving .jpg files (album art) in the music library.
Through a bit of effort, I was able to remove the .jpgs and things were
working well.
I also did some searching regarding the version... Turns out I have 2
versions installed.... 0.8.5 on /usr/local/bin and 0.8.8 on /usr/bin
The paths kept me using the 0.8.5 version... (Probably the result of
upgrading from FC2 to FC3??? )
Unfortunately the .jpgs are gone and I cannot see if the problem/issues
was corrected. I may try and re-create and see if the problem returns
with the newer version.
Thanks for the assistance...
