Is this a possible error because it is a mounted drive from a windows share?
Not likely, I'm doing it right now. Mounted mp3 shared directory currently playing in xmms. The directory structure is mp3/artists/albums/mp3s on the shared windows drive.
Can you play local mp3 files? I believe fedora disables this by default.
Good luck.;-)
I can play the mp3's over the share but I have to open up just one directory. It will not go deeper into the directory structure. I think I am gong in the right direction. KAffiene sees to do what I was asking but as of right now it doesn't see to have a filter to play an mp3 file. I will keep you updated.

When you add songs from xmms, are you choosing the add directory option from the menu. When I choose that option, all subdirectories are included in the playlist or is that not what you're trying do?
Good luck. ;-)
