xmms is capable of quality surround sound from mp3s and cds. If you are having problems you might want to read the excellent article on Derek's page http://homepage.ntlworld.com/djennings/ and come back to us with specifics if you still need help. I can't answer for streaming media - I don't do it. > > I would also like to throw in that I haven't been able to find anything > decent as far as video players (DiVX, avi, mpeg, mpg, mov, etc?) I'm sure you will get recommendations here - again it's not my line. I can only say that xine plays my dvds better than anything I managed under windows. > > As far as XCDRoast?...how!?

If you want to make data backups, which is what I use it for, you need to first ensure that it has identified your writer. Once that is done, go to Master Tracks (don't be put off by the language). Navigate on the right-hand column. Highlight a directory that you want to add, and click 'add'. You can display and add individual files. You can exclude files or directories in just the same way. You must 'calculate' on the last tab before you can burn. You may find error messages indicating that you need to turn off Joliet extensions. Come back if you need more help.
