Issue : Xmms is the only media player that I am currently able to configure to play mp3s. So.. what I have done, is to install a Fedora 16 VM and run banshee with my RHEL ~/Music directory NFS mounted in my VM. Banshee is where I manage my playlists, etc.. My logout script then copies the banshee.db to my ~/Music directory (as opposed to .config/banshee-1/banshee.db) I then run the following script to create a "default" Xmms playlist. I replace the default XMMS .m3u file, then I create a ~/Music/xmms.pls file (optional to use). Resolution : [jradtke@neo bin]$ cat banshee-to-xmms.sh #!/bin/bash BANSHEEMINRATING=3 BANSHEEDBFILE=~/Music/banshee.db TMPSYNC=/tmp/banshee2xmms.tmp PLSOUT=~/Music/xmms.pls echo "select Uri from CoreTracks where rating > ${BANSHEEMINRATING};" | sqlite3 $BANSHEEDBFILE > ${TMPSYNC} sed -i -e 's/file:\/\///g' ${TMPSYNC} # MORE GENERIC FILE CLEANUP TYPE STUFF # THEN... REPLACE/REMOVE SOME OF
