I'm not aware of any linux program that can play quicktime files... As far as the wav file is concered, you should be able to play it fine with xmms or noatun or any other player. If the programs tell you it's not what it should be, consider disk corruption. (You did say it was a floppy - good chance for corruption.) -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
