Put the CD in the computer, then click the CD-ROM icon on the KDE desktop. This will
open up Konqueror. Click on each track seperately, and they should autoplay in XMMS.

Install XMMS from the Redhat CDs and then configure your Internet connection in Linux.

As RedHat Linux 8.0 is quite an old Linux distro now, maybe it would be worth your while if
you were to upgrade to a newer (and better supported) distro, such as SUSE Linux 9.0,
or perhaps the recent RedHat based, community supported Fedora Core 1.

(Upgrading your Linux distro, to one that's more current, could well enable you to access
the internet beyond the security bug ridden world of Microsoft Windows a fair bit easier.)

What sort of connection to the internet do you currently have? Broadband or dial-up? If
you have broadband, you could always download a new Linux distro, and have it burned
to some blank CD-R discs (usually 1-3) quite easily within the space of a few hours.

If you're not on fuel injected broadband, and still on an old fashoined, steam powered
dial-up connection, it'd be best to either invest in a retail boxed set Linux distro, or
get one on a batch of pre-burned CD-R discs from a private seller on eBay.

XMMS is bundled with most Linux distros by default. It's essentially an open sourced
clone of WA2.x, and it works in much the same way. It even supports WA2.x skins!

If you're referring to XMMS, then to a certain degree, yes.

As I said, XMMS is a clone of Winamp 2.x, and so therefore will support streaming MP3 in much the
same way that Winamp 2.x does. It's just a case of finding the services that use streaming MP3.

One that automatically springs to mind, is VirginRadio,

which broadcast from London, UK.

VirginRadio MP3 streaming for dial up users.

VirginRadio MP3 streaming for broadband users.

They even support streaming in the OggVorbis format!

VirginRadio OggVorbis streaming for dial-up users.

VirginRadio OggVorbis streaming for broadband users.

Ya, I still am old fashioned and have a dial up connection, before I get a copy of the new linux how do I delete the old one? I am running windows 98 and red hat linux on the same machine and have a partioned 10gb hard drive on the 2 of them. So I guess my question is if I delete linux will my linux partion go into windows?

Just use Symantec/PowerQuest Partition Magic, to delete the Linux partition, by simply turning it into
unallocated HDD space. That way, once you have a new Linux distro (such as SUSE 9.0) the installer
program will automatically detect the empty HDD space, and will prompt you to set up the new Linux
partitions for your new Linux distribution. You can either let the Linux installer progam set them up
automatically (by default) or if you feel like living dangerously, you can set them up yourself.

Although I wouldn't recommend opting for the custom partitioning option, especially if you've not
done it before, so it's best to allow the installer program do the dangerous work safely for you,
and setup the partitions automatically. After that, you can choose which packages to install,
but it's generally better to let the installer set all that up for you, with the deault options.

SuSE Linux uses KSCD to play music CD's, and does it quite well.

I don't have crackling audio like I do under Windows XP Home with various media players.
