For audio previewing to work in Nautilus on Ubuntu (maybe others) under Gnome you need to: sudo apt-get install mpg321 vorbis-tools I'll mention it as most seem to run Ubuntu and might be missing that "feature", if you don't know it *should* do something you don't know that you could fix it ;)) Correct me if I am wrong on that but I needed to do that on 4 lucid installs still. Not 100% sure if I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras before or after that though, the restricted extras *may* pull that in if I did it back to front ;) -- John Williams My linux blog of notes and guides http://subbass.blogspot.com/ -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
