Elton, Here is the link to get the real mpg123 from: http://www.mpg123.de/ As far as I know they do not have binaries on their site. There may be some out on rpmfind.net or something like that but I built mine from source. From what I remember it was very easy. Just the standard: unpack tar zxvf whatever.tar.gz cd to the package dir ./configure make su make install I had it install in /usr/local (./configure --prefix=/usr/local) which put the actual executable in /usr/local/bin. Then the last thing I did was change the link in /usr/bin. In that dir there was a symbolic link called mpg123 pointing to mpg321 in that same dir. I removed that link: rm mpg123 and then made a new link pointing to my new version: ln -s /usr/local/bin/mpg123 mpg123 That was it. . .after that everything worked. I know as a new user that probably sounds confusing but if you download the package and read the readme file that comes with it it will step you through it just as I did and then it's just that link. Give it a try and good luck. -Darren PS One note. . .I have not yet tried to compile mpg123 on RH 9. I have had a few things error out when trying to build them on 9 when they built fine on 7.3. Hopefully this will not be one of them. On Thu, 2003-04-10 at 18:29, Elton Woo wrote: > On April 10, 2003 05:35 pm, Darren R.
