Hi Rev:
It's great to hear about your success!
Regarding playing mp3 and other music files, you may also be interested
in images matched to the music which is being played. There are
different open source applications available which do this; however
there are none as flexible or sophisticated as the project known as
xine (http://xinehq.de/).
Check and see if it is already part of your version of YDL; if not,
then use yum to install it for you:
# yum search xine
then if yum finds it:
# yum install xine*
Note: the star following the e tells the computer to install any
additional files associated with xine.
When you finally open xine the selection for gui's are literally
astounding. However, embedded in the menu is an option called GOOM.
Select to activate that and you'll discover what a xine has many, many
fans. I'm convinced that GOOM is implemented within Apple's iTune's,
they are just not going to admit it to anyone.
Best wishes...

Hello again all
Thanks to everyone for there wonderful help with my last trouble
with the USB drive.
I have a new question about mp3 files. Are there any linux gui apps
usable with ydl that will play mp3 files? I have installed mpg123 but
am confused with the correct usage of the command line. Also, I'd
really just like a GUI mp3 player. I realise there are issues with
patents and licenses concerning mp3's but is that over yet?
TIA
rob
