I just checked once more Totem in Fed-4. It does play music CDs, most .wav files, however, not all .mp3 and not .wmv. In slackware I have totem tweaked to play them all, however, I seldom use it. I find totem too clumsy and at times unpredictable. If possible I use realplay or xmms or just command 'cdp' for music CDs. Case in point, I just upgraded to gnome dropeline 2.14. Now totem crashes when I try to open w/o a file to play, however, it plays and stays open when invoked from command line with file to open: totem file.*. Version of totem in slackware now: Gnome totem 1.4.0 In Fedora4: totem-1.0.2-1.i386.rpm Regards -- Peter - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
