I usually extract the url from the pls file by hand but I bet sed or grep could do it just as well, either write a script to spit the url to standard output and jam that on the mpg123 command line or upgrade your c-libraries to allow freeamp to compile. I'm usually the last to upgrade still running 2.0.xx kernel but threads are a rather integral thing to have in your os these days, and even Debian 2.1 (slink yes I'm still running stable 1.5 years later) has them. I bought a burner and backed up my data and hosed a system or two, but I got slackware to upgrade many moons ago, it is icky :-) It's probably too late to consider Debian (my favourite) or Redhat (can't get used to the bizare default config files but you get that) but I hope you solve your freeamp woes or find another solution. that's the thing about standards there's so many to choose from.

You could just use mpg123 0.59r but it doesn't play streams as well. > > > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup > -- -- Kerry Hoath: kerry at gotss.eu.org Alternates: kerry at emusys.com.au kerry at gotss.spice.net.au or khoath at lis.net.au ICQ UIN: 8226547
