Very few programs accept the smb:// URL -- I know the Konqueror browser accepts that, and perhaps Nautilus in Gnome, but not much else. It's not a standard URL type. > Err... > Try something like > mount -t smbfs -o username=x,password=y //linux-server/server/Music /mnt > > You should be able to access your music from the /mnt directory (or > whever else you want to put it). That'll work. Once an SMB share is mounted, to EasyTag the file will appear as if it were local. If you want to do the same thing using a GUI to mount the SMB share, I've used both 'komba2' and 'smb4k' to do that. There are probably equivalent programs to do the same thing for Gnome. -- Chris -- Chris Knadle [EMAIL PROTECTED]
