Thanks. I'll look to see if it's open. I searched OOoforums then (never knew about those!) and found people with similar problems. A bug was filed - and closed. Then I found out that people need to install sun's "java media framework," but most codecs aren't supported in linux - BUT there is a mp3 plugin. This was all a convoluted manual installed that took about two hours to figure out (hey, I was on a coffee low) but now it works. I'm just wondering why this isn't working out of the box! > > Fill in your information and reply to the confirmation > email that will be sent to the address you provided.
