A track I put together over the weekend. The levels aren't quite
right and it sounds a little muddy, but I got fed up with it and
decided to leave it as it is.

Haha. I'm also a linux user, if you hadn't guessed. I use "inferior"
MP3's for the poor *Windows* folks.
I'm on Slackware 10.0 at the mo and havn't
anything to play MP3's
As someone has already suggested, have you tried mplayer? XMMS?
But, since I now have quite a bit of spare space on my server, I've
uploaded an ogg for every mp3. Just swap the mp3 part to ogg and you
should be fine.
Okay, make that uploading. I thought the conversion would be done by
the time I sent this, but it's still going. They'll be there in a
moment.

Hi James. Thanks for putting up the .oggs. The machine I collect email on is
FC1. I've got MPlayer on that ,but when i'm listening to Internet radio I
can't use anything else. The other machine has 5 hard drive caddies. The only
only one that plays MP3's is Debian 3.0r2 upgraded to testing (sarge) with a
player called GQmpeg, and that works ok. Just a bit of a nuisance having to
shuffle the caddies to find the right one to play the MP3's. .oggs are
easier, anything on Linux plays them. I'm trying to get going with a tracker
(soundtracker). I've been using Making Waves, a step sequencer on Windows,
and have loads of royalty free .wav samples to use with it. The only problem
with the tracker is getting instant previews of the .wav sounds. You have to
load em first and then listen. Doh. If you know of a way to preview .wavs
without having to open a player for each one or load them into the tracker,
I'm all ears. Nigel.

I don't use soundtracker, so I can't be much help there, but
cheesetracker lets you play sounds in the open dialog box as if they
were loaded. Maybe you should have a look at it?

Don't worry about them. WinAmp recognizes them perfectly, so they
wouldn't notice (except if they want to record it to a CD track using,
for example, Nero, but that's a different story).

Nope. He'd make an excellent family member, though. He's rich,
supports free software and has been in space.
And he's South African, so he'd have that ace accent.
Pah, my brother is so boring.

Very very nice. I especially like the beats. How'd you make them, and

I think I'll get a better description written and post it under it's
own thread, in case lots of people just bin this as a continuation of
a thread they didn't find interesting in the first place.
