Thx ya...

One more thing. about REAL PLAYER. I download from the web and save it in my /tmp. I run and install it just following the steps. It works fine BUT whenever I restart my pc again, the real player is not working anymore..
the error message I got is----
"Could not launch menu item
Details: Failed to execute child process "realplay" (No such file or directory)"
then i re-download and reinstall.... problems keep on looping
did i miss out anything again?

when i apt-get install realplayer - error occurs
"realplayer: Depends: xlibs but it is not installable"
how to enabled Automatix? what's that?

my ubuntu mplayer can only play .mp3 files....
any other player can play all kind of files such as .rmv, .wma. mov ? that would be much easier for me

thx
