Tam" To: UW Linux Group Subject: Re: XMMS In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Funny, I have the same problem when using GQMPEG to play certain files. MP3s generally play okay, but MP2s will squeak. On one track (Miyazaki's Mononoke Hime) it sounds like someone's strangling a chicken. If I ever get the time I'm gonna try another codec, see if it matters. Just out of curiosity, are your music encoded at VBR? -=- Terence On Thu, 4 May 2000, Thomas Anderl wrote: > Hey All, > > I've got a problem with xmms that I'm wondering if anyone has had > this problem.
