Not able to listen streaming music.
I listen music from raaga.com . in win xp . Now I tried the same in fedora core 4 ( Firefox ).
The raaga jukebox opens on clicking on a song and then " initialising player " and " loading "
messages show for infinite time . Not able to listen anything . What should I do to listen music ? Also I switched to Opera in win xp and the same thing happens there , in IE its fine .
Do i have to install plugins for them ??

You need java, realplayer, mplayer quicktime pluggin for Firefox to listen to music, watch movies etc., from the web. Follow this guide, in the java section to get it working.

Does any of it work. I have tried a lot of things to play raaga.com on linux but haven't been successful at all. I will look at your solutions and try again.

I dunno about raaga but mp3 and vcd files should surely play. Does any other sound play?

Does the music on the hard disk play?
If yes then I guess the problems lies with permissions. I don't know the exact way followed by FC but you might need to add your user account to audio group to use the audio facility.
I hope you're using a separate user account and not root.

Yes i use a non-root account and audio cds can be played so i guess the audio permissions are ok . Is there any way to run mplayer from command line as it is not listed in sound and video section , i see man pages for mplayer but can't figure out the commands to run it.

That's nice. So what was the problem? Mentioning the solution might help others in the future.

@startmenu: Nice habit!!  Always read the man pages, when in doubt.
Nothing much of a problem., i guess he had to install dvd-codecs to play stuff in mplayer.

Linux takes you from the uncertainity of the bsod's to the certainity of FOSS, it ain't trial and error 
You need to install the codecs to play vcd's. I'am damn sure. Or do the following,
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/vcd
It shud work. Lets see.

I thought maybe mplayer uses /dev/vcd as a reference for vcd videos. But As far as i can say, i HAVE played vcd's with mplayer aftr installing these codecs
