[root@raccoon2 root]# xmms /home/david/musicmp3/03 - Un Poco De Amor.rmj
the xmms player comes up and I get the add files dialog box
so press play or click on the file and still no sound even press play on the xmms screen
seems as though the file does not get loaded
or i try
xmms /home/david/musicmp3/Avril Lavigne - 09 - Who Knows.mp3

and sometimes I get stuck in here, where ever the heck this is
control c gets me out of here because I think it is still somewhere in the xmms program. Maybe this one is a bad file I downloaded from the internet but I know the shakira song works in windows.
I see volume at 77 percent when I move the mouse over the speaker icon by the clock in kde
kmix is the mixer I am using unless I am in gnome right. Should not matter in which desktop I move the mixer control I think.
btw i dont use gnome much if at all
of course kscd still plays music fine.
wait maybe i am on to something ... I looking at my input plugins and i dont see anything that says mp3
there are MPEG layer 1 2 3 something.so
do I need more plugins

i m not that much a newbie but i do have problems with xmms too. xine and others have no problems playing my mp3 but, however, xmms has. somehow xmms is running through an 5 min mp3 in a few seconds without playing any sound. already tried different versions of xmms (original fedora core2) or the rpms from freshprms.net (sure i installed the mp3 plugins) nothing is working correctly. maybe somebody out there knows the answer.
