    xmms issues

    I have installed xmms so I can listen to mp3s. The song title shows up in the player but when i press play I can't hear anyhing and the counter goes really fast. Itakes like 3 seconds to move through a 4 minute song. any ideas what might be wrong?

    I installed:

    xmms-1.2.7-22.i386.rpm
    xmms-devel-1.2.7-22.i386.rpm
    xmms-mp3-1.2.7-22.i386.rpm
    xmms-skins-1.2.7-22.i386.rpm
    I am on a journey to mastering Linux and I got a bloody long way to go!!!

    I can also be that you haven't set the output "right":
    Open the settings, and you should on the first pane see a dropdown box with the title: plug in for output (or something like that), make sure it's not the diskwriter pulg in. I use eSourd (libesdout.so) with no problems.

    That was easy after all

    Selected Alsa and it worked.

    Cheers
