hey Russell,
if the MP3 is started up through the GUI, usually it's kinda funny that
it plays in the background with what seems like no way of stopping it. I
have found (I run Red Hat 7.1 Ximian with Nautilus) that if you just start
up the CD Player or any other MP3 Player that runs via the desktop you'll
find that your music is playing invisibly in the background. This is due
to conflicting default music players in Nautilus. To Fix: go through your
file settings in Nautilus (similar to Winblows) and designate XMMS
(similar to Winamp) as your default player by changing the launch
properties of the files....from mp123 to xmms <filename>. Finding the
default MP3 player/media player that plays through the GUI when files are
double-clicked is the hardest part. I usually find it through the GUI by
clicking on
Gnome Foot - Multimedia - <players are located here>
Once you launch the correct application it will kill the song. (woo hoo!)
I usually just make sure to launch Xmms from my desktop and look to play
songs by clicking the button in the middle of it to bring up the music
files. (I'm a big command line fan myself though) Or one last
thing....when looking to play music....just tell the Mrs. to right-click
on the song she wants to play and choose "play in Xmms" (granted Xmms has
been installed).
good luck, (lemme know if this helps)
