You must try this on RH8 for good looking fonts!

First time I actually bothered to read the releasenotes on the first CD for once There you can read that you can take the fonts (*. ttf) from windows and put them in /usr/share/fonts and then run the command fc-cache /usr/share/fonts.

Browsing MP3s

clutch
Is there a way to have KDE (or GNOME, or anything else for that matter) list MP3 metadata in the file browser so that it can be sorted by album, artist, etc? I am used to this ability in Windows, and I sorely miss it in Linux.

Hi, I'm pretty new here so excuse me if this is in the wrong area. I'm running RH7. 2(Enigma I think) with the default Gnome setup. While fiddling with the fonts and things I suddenly noticed that the CD player won't work any more.
