Pain999 Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 I want to unzip some midi filles and play them. Is there a way to do this with Linux / Mandrake 10.0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Yep. Just double click!! zip and unzip are installed by default. If not, then ina console as root, type "urpmi zip". Should ask for cd 2, my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 unzip midi files? are they zipped up? file-roller should unzip them if they are in any sort of zip/gz/tar/etc. and there's a list of midi players here: http://linux-sound.org/midi.html that you can check out.

Now I can rock out to some Iron Maiden midi Course maybe you would not have helped me if you knew what I was doing with this info but maybe there is one or two IM fans still out there. http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Tower...20/maidmid.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ixthusdan Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 I actually use ark all the time, but "zip" just seems easier to remember for most people! B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_the_fish Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Have issues with ark - it appears to "remember" or rather cache similar named tar files - hence when I was trying to install the new Eclipse a while back, I was finding myself still untaring the old one?!!! :furious3 Stick to cli and things work much better..... but tahts just my personal :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
