Dear list,
I've got a question about using various soundfile players with Mozilla
Thunderbird. I've got a webpage on exhibit in a festival right now,
with a selection of MP3s to listen to. I thought it would be a simple
thing, but lusers always find ways of making simple things break ;-)
The problem is that, each time a user clicks on a link, it opens a new
instance of each soundplayer. Of course, most people don't bother to
close the other player, so pretty soon there are too many instances
and the sound just stops. I've tried XMMS and VLC in particular, and
have resorted to using MPG321 because it will wait for the first
soundfile to finish before playing the next one. But the users can't
see the app playing the sound, and more than that, they can't
interrupt one sound with another because there's no interface to stop
playback.
So what I'd like to know is which app will support enqueuing files for
playback in a single instance?
i know you can enqeue with amarok ... whether you can configure that as
the default action, i don't know ...
