what exactly were you expecting? :) or are you more asking 'how do you use it?' Checkout http://www.xmms.org/features.html and faq.html for a listing on what it can do. Even documentation.html would be helpful :) In terms of playing videos, it works by using a series of plugins available for it, so along with playing mp3s you could play avi's, mpeg's, etc by downloading the package and enabling them through the xmms preferences. -- Adam McDaniel Infrastructure Technology Consultant M-Tech Mercury Information Technology, Inc.
