For playing mp3s, try mpg123 already included with slackware. To encode mp3s, you can use a few different programs. I use bladeenc, since that was the first one I came across, and because there was already a slackware package for it. To do ocr (assuming you have a supported scanner of course), try gocr. You can find both bladeenc and gocr at http://freshmeat.net . Hth. Greg On Mon, Sep 10, 2001 at 07:09:17PM -0400, Thomas D. Ward wrote: > Hello, list.
