titous09 Posted June 17, 2004 Report Share Posted June 17, 2004 so i've installed xmms but it doesn't like to play my mp3's. if i drag it into the playlist and press play, xmms just closes. if i right click the file and choose to play it with xmms it does not play at all. xmms opens but when i try to click play it just freezes. i can play the music with other programs, would just rather like to use xmms. i am running mandrake 10.0 and kde 3.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

somedude Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 You may also get some info if you launch xmms from a console instaed of double clicking the icon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 I know this bug and it is common. XMMS uses OSS by default in MDK10 although most users use/need ALSA. My XMMS also froze , but after changing the output to ALSA (in the xmms-menu ->options), XMMS was running smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
