[newbie] Playing Mp3's...

[Bill Munden]

I just had to make a post about this because Linux impressed me when it comes to playing Mp3's on my computer.  I used to listen to them in Win98 when I was surfing the Internet and everytime I changed to a new web page, there seemed to be a loss of 'processing power' taken away from the Mp3 player I was using (Winamp).  This was causing the music to skip or come to a halt momentarily and then start playing again.  I remember that someone else was having the same problem and had enquired about it.  They had recieved a reply that explained how Win9x wasn't able to deal with the two tasks (web browsing and Mp3 song being played) very well and that was the reason for the poor playback of.  Anyhow, I have been listening to Mp3's inside of Mandrake 6.1 and browsing the web without the music being interrupted at all.  I like that.:)   -Bill
