just mounted my windows partition and copied my entire mp3 collection, about 2500 songs. but now the permissions are set to not even allow executions, so i can't play them with xmms. how can i change all the permissions without going through all 2500 songs?!?! thanks.
hmmm....the power of manpages. I assume you knew about chmod (since you did mention changing them one by one). Now, if you just did a 'man chmod' you went have your answer in a moment. Just letting you know for next time you may be in a 'fix'
the music is in /home/dalton/music
from there it is divided by artist
ive tried doing what you all have said but cant get it to work...with those variables i mentioned, what woul i type in term
SORRY FOR ALL THE TROUBLE THANKS.
Don't mean to throw things off track here, but did you install mp3 support for xmms?
Red Hat 8.0 did not ship with support to play mp3s. You can get the plugin from the xmms website: www.xmms.org
It was the very first item on the page last time I looked.
