Hi,
I know this must be the oldest and tiredest question, but how do I get Audio Player to play the "new" mp3 files?
Go to atrpms or livna and grab the xmms-mp3 plugin, install, fire up the audio player (assuming it's xmms and not Rhythmbox), go to where you find the modules and until the mp3 placeholder box and tick the real mp3 module box.
Job done.
TTFN
Paul
