What program runs when you double-click an MP3 file?

#1 Post by puppyuser »

When I double click a MP3 it plays. But, I have no way to control the application. It's not Gxine. When I open a MP3 with Gxine I get normal play funtions, ie. Stop, Play ect. But, if I double click a MP3 then open Gxine, it will play both MP3's at the same time. So, there must be another program running in the background. Is there some way to access it?

I believe it's madplay. I don't know anything more about it. Type "madplay --help" in a terminal window to find out more.

if you use Rox filer, right click an mp3, then click Set Run Action in the 'file xxx.mp3' menu ... type in the Enter A Shell Command box at the bottom something like:

gxine "$1"

(or defaultmediaplayer or whatever program you like ... you can use $1 or $@)

or drag a program like gxine in /usr/local/bin to the Set Run Action window ... i think it's easier just to type in gxine
