more on attaching audio/mpeg files

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Janina -

I think you missed my shriek of success... upgrading my Pine from 4.10 to
4.21 solved the problem for me. The files are now coming back to me
identified as  they should be.
I will include my .mailcap file below. It began its life as a copy of
Kirk's "mailcapstuff.zip" on the speakup goodies directory, but I have
modified it some. In particular I created a script called 'getstream'
which accepts a .pls or a .m3u file, extracts from it the first URL found
there, and passes that URL along to Matt Campbell's 'trplayer'
program. The script uses 'sed' to do the dirty work and makes trplayer
work a lot more like freeamp, which I never could get working on this
system...

Any way, here is my .mailcap file:
--------------
audio/x-wav; aplay %s
audio/basic; aplay %s
audio/x-pn-realaudio; trplayer %s
audio/mpeg; mpg123 %s 
audio/mpegurl; getstream %s
audio/x-mpegurl; getstream %s
audio/scpls; getstream %s
audio/x-scpls; getstream %s
-----------------
Hope that helps.
Chuck.

You can bring any calculator you like to the midterm, as long as it
doesn't dim the lights when you turn it on.
