Setting default mp3 player
 

When I turn off the setting to play mp3s in the limewire program, all that happens when I click a file is launch netscape. How would I be able to set the default mp3 player to xmms?

Thanks.

Me too. I'd really like to have this feature.

The one saving grace is that XMMS is "sticky" in terms of the load directory. So, once you load a file from the LimeWire download directory, the next time you load you'll start in the same place.

Having LimeWire launch netscape would at least be a partial solution if netscape would then launch the appropriate handler. My problem is that if I disable the LimeWrite player nothing at all happens when I try to launch a file.

Does anyone know how LimeWire decides what to do when it doesn't use the built-in player?

me too!
 

I have wondered about this aswell. I have xmms set as my default player for mp3 files - but it wont bring it up when I click.

To set your default player under KDE, goto a mp3 file in Konqueror, right click on it and goto the Edit File Type... choice.

The main reason i want to get limewire to launch xmms is I only collect mp3s at 160kbps (or 75% vbr), so I would like to check the bitrate when the download starts so I dont waste time downloading low quality tracks.

Does anyone know where to find the partially downloaded mp3s - where does limewire store them - I cant find any hidden files in my shared folder, in the ~/Limewire dir or in the ~/.limewire dir - does anyone know where the files are so I can listen to them and check the bitrate please.

Thanks

Answer to own question
 

Hmm - the incomplete and currently downloading files are in:

~/Incomplete

:)

Still no luck launching xmms tho.

Start xmms, add the files in your incomplete directory to your playlist or install windows.
