Didn't know you could get VLC to do that cool. When i get my new Macbook Pro
I'll certainly give hat a shot.

Subject: Re: Media players on Mac OS X
Some things I particularly like about VLC, its audio and video quality are
better than Itunes and Quicktime, they both use the same decoders I believe.
VLC handles .m3u playlists better than Itunes does and this could be important
if you're running a network of Windows and Mac machines as I do, I had ripped
many of my CD'S into .mp3 format, each CD having a .m3u playlist associated
with it, yep I can import these into Itunes now and some I've already done that
with but it was just nice to be able to run VLC from the Mac and pull whatever
.m3u playlist from the network I wanted to play. VLC also handles "Nested
Playlists", suppose you have a talking book of 18 CD'S with each CD in its own
folder, you can set a playlist to reference each track in each folder, only
thing you have to remember to do is to modify the backslash character - if the
playlist was created in Windows - to a slash character for use with the Mac,
the slashes and backslashes determine the path of the files obviously <smile>
and that's nothing that Text Edit can't handle with a simple find and replace.

Yes, vlc is great, I use that along with itunes, and some times quick
time, between those 3 programs, all of the major formats are covered I
think.

I didn't know there was a Winamp available for the Mac, does anyone
have an url? Is it as good as Winamp for the PC? I have to admit
that I think VLC to be one of the best media players around.

Hi folks,
I'm quite a big fan of using VLC to play my media files. However,
when using
Winamp, it's very easy to find how at waht point in the track I am.
This
also works in VLC, but is there a way to change it from displaying in
seconds to minutes please?
Thanks
james
