What is the full path of the file you are trying to play, and how are you communicating that path to Audacious? For example: I have a file named "Offenbach, Jacques - Can-Can.ogg " in the "Music" subfolder of my home folder. Hence, the full path to the file is "/home/john/Music/Offenbach, Jacques - Can-Can.ogg". To play this file, I need to tell Audacious where to find it. Option A: I can open a terminal window in my home folder. Then, I go to the "Music" subfolder: $ cd Music Then, I run: $ audacious "Offenbach, Jacques - Can-Can.ogg" Because I am in the "Music" folder already, I don't need to tell Audacious any more than the simple file name. Option B: I can open a terminal window in any folder in the filesystem. Then, I run: $ audacious "/home/john/Music/Offenbach, Jacques - Can-Can.ogg" Because I am not in the "Music" folder, I need to include the full path to the file on the command line. Which of these two options are you trying to do? -- John Lindgren
