Easy. Don't use rhythmbox. Don't use Gnome. Do use KDE. Do use Amarok. Do use mplayer. *especially* do use mplayer. I know this isn't what you want to hear. I just couldn't resist an open invitation to dig at Gnome. I'll crawl back into my KDE and e17 fanboy clubhouse and shut up now. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- [email protected] mailing list
