Hi, I was wondering if anyone has this problem:  XMMS won't play my pm3s.
 When I hit play, it fast forwards through the song without any sound
coming out?  Does anyone know what may be wrong?

I am using RH7 2.2.16 Kernel and the latest version of xmms under gnome.

Thanks for any help you send my way.

perhaps the output is set to decode the mp3 into a wav files instead of
outputting it as sound.  check the options section

hmm, that doesn't seem to be it. Well, I'll keep trying.  Thanks.

It did that to me for a while, I hit it with the big stick.

rm ~/.xmms

then run it and reconfigure. worked for me.

I don't want to be offensive, but did you check the sound and mixer?

I can reproduce the exact same symptoms when I attempt to play mp3's off of
the cd that I created (130 mp3's- whooo-hooo!), and I haven't mounted the
cd-rom drive yet.  It will successfully load the play list (cached, I
assume), and will FLY through the playlist without playing squat!

Once I mount the cd-rom drive containing the mp3's, it's all good.

Hope this helps...

This behaviour is not surprising. Xmms has the old playlist in his
~/.xmms directory and loads it. Now it picks the first file, but it
is not there (as you have _not_ mounted the cd-rom drive) and so it
picks the next and the next and the next ...

Why should there be a problem? The files are now all there and xmms
plays them.
