I found the answer, disable the mad mp3 (libxmmsmad.so) decoder and make sure you have the xmms-mpg123 (libmpg123.so) decoder plugin enabled. worked fine after that change. The settings are in options|preferences (ctrl-p). On the mad plugin some files would seek and others wouldn't. They all seem to in the mpg123 plugin. I take no credit for this tip, it was in the gentoo forums. I guess theres more than one way to encode an mp3! > -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
