[sound card red hat 8.0 mp3]

[mikey62]

can't get mp3's to work. Is there a site to down load a player? Is there a site similar to Kazza to download a program for linux?

player -> xmms.org (if youre interested in xwindow client)
mpg123 -> console client, look at freshmeat.net for your program needs for linux, man, there's tons of open source projects there.

Well, basically why you can't play MP3's on ur Linux comp is 'coz RH 8.0 has by default stopped supporting MPEG Compression(due to patency issues).

So, If u want to play ur MP3 in XMMS(RH 8.0), u need to download a plugin from the XMMS website.

Well, Now I've got my own problem.......... I'm not able to run my VCD's on RH 8.0........... anyone knows how to do it???

Xine is very good for VCD's

thanks people. And yea! this is cool(arjagadish) asking another question within a thread so you don't have to start a new one. I dig this because the newly created answer group answers multiple questions avoiding delay.

cool.

For file sharing, go get Lopster at lopster.sourceforge.net and pull the recent CVS source. It connects to a ton of Napster servers and allows fine grained control over bandwidth (overall and per user).

Users who dont share but just download, I cut down dramatically on bandwidth. And for a while, It worked with WinMX (they're re-fixing that).

Well, XINE Is a good VCD Player under Linux. But does anyone know how to install it. I tried installing it, and it keeps on asking one after another support files.

I lumped all these files together in a folder and did a "rpm -ivh *" in that folder and all is well.
