Hi All. First of all Happy Holidays.

The other day I got a SMC Network EZ-Stream Internet SMCWAA-G radio device and I am having some issue serving music to it from Linux.

It says it runs with MusicMatch or Rhaposdy on Windows. I want to run this from my Linux CentOS system.

So I was looking at Rythmbox which is on the OS already .

I have my mp3 and dvd on a Buffalo link station. I can mount the drive and see the music files OK at the browser level.

When I go into Rythmbox and select the files to be loaded into the library they appear to be grayed out.

Also I cannot select an entire older. I want to take everything in my mp3 dir that has my music broken out via artist and type etc.


Can this SW also be used to server out to my device like MusicMatch or Rhapsody?
How do I configure the sw to be a server and run in the background?

I dont want to leave a windows system up on-line just for Music. I prefer Linux.

Is there other sw that might be better fro this function?

The SMC device works fine on the network and gets Internet radio fine.


I just looked at the error file for Rythmbox and notice an error of

The GStreamer plugins to decode "MP3" files cannot be found


What is that?
I tried a yum install gstreamer
And I got the following :

Any thoughts are appreciated.
Have a great day.
