I just installed it to give it a try, and I get skips whenever I do anything else while it is in use. I can't use the equalizer either, bogs the playback down to nil output. I'm running a P3 450 w/ 128M ram. It plays fine if I don't touch my mouse or keyboard.... guess I'll stick with gqmpeg. -- Walter Brameld Microsoft: Where do you want to go today?
