...someone correct me if I'm wrong: I've enabled mp3 / mpeg support in Red Hat 9 (Shrike) by installing these "minimally necessary" (IMHO) packages from http://www.freshrpms.net viz: aalib-1.4rc5-fr2.i386.rpm alsa-lib-0.9.2-fr2.i386.rpm flac-1.1.0-fr3.i386.rpm libfame-0.9.0-fr2.i386.rpm mpg321-0.2.10-fr2.i386.rpm xine-0.9.20-fr2.i386.rpm xine-lib-1.0.0-fr0.beta9.2.i386.rpm xvidcore-0.9.0-fr4.i386.rpm BEFORE burning any CD's, I make sure to *disable* magicdev. Thus, I have been able to burn /erase data CD's with X-CD-Roast. With Gnome Toaster, I have been able to burn / erase data AND music CD's (original sound files are .mp3). EXCEPT: some audio tracks *.mp3 which _invariably_ give me CD's that sound like they have been recorded at double speed. ... *regardless* of the actual speed that I've used to burn the CD. These files are old BBC radio programs. They play fine when I place my mouse pointer over them in Nautilus, they just *don't* play properly when burnt to CD!!! Other mp3 files work, no problem. ... any ideas? If I can get them to playback in RH 9 / Nautlius, why won't they playback properly once burnt to CD. ... and no it's NOT a permissions problem: the files are *all* universally writeable.
