mplayer help
 

When I play any kind of sound file with RedHat 9, through my browser, using mplayer, the file only plays for a second or two nad then stops. I get some that play longer but none of them play the whole file.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

are you playing .Ogg or .mp3 files??

does it play through a terminal?any error messages?

No message in the terminal. Also these are mp3 sound files downloaded from the net so I don't know if the problem is with mplayer or the download was cut short. but this happens with all downloaded sound files no matter what type.
Thanks for any help u can provide

well break it into stages... first GET the file locally using wget (browse the source code or whatever you need to do) , then play it back with mplayer from a console.
