I downloaded the RR 2.6.1 Linux 30 day trial and installed it into one of my Ubuntu boxes.
WOW - a big Thank You to RunRev for these new capabilities! (Yes, Richmond Mathewson IS saying Thank You!) 2.6.1 plays AIF files on Ubuntu without BL**DY Xanim (and, believe me, it is very, very bl**dy) HOWEVER - the nasty bit is that RR plays AIF files at double speed in Ubuntu - so my 'sexy, masculine voice' (cough, cough, cough) sounds like Mickey Mouse on Crack Cocaine. Having managed to successfully antagonise the Ubuntu community (No, Richmond, antagonise anybody - surely not) about the problem with AIF files (which also go wonky with native Ubuntu apps) - they say it is a RR problem only; and therefore the ball lies in RR's court (a view I do not agree with) - I took the road of least resistence and slowed all my AIF files down to half speed - they now play in RR on Ubuntu and sound as they should. I should be very ngrateful if anybody has access to Ubuntu or Kubuntu to try playing AIF files imported either from Mac or Win - and sent observations about the results to [EMAIL PROTECTED] : and while you are at it have a bash at playing a WAV file! RR advertises 'seamless' transport of files cross-platform: and with regard to Linux this is not entirely true - but, at least as far as Ubuntu is concerned, part of the fault seems to lie with Ubuntu.
