Gnome / Nautilus / MP3

Randomly founded Nautilus (Gnome file manager installed by default in Ubuntu) feature: MP3 track "preview".
You open a Nautilus window, where there are some MP3 files, and you let your mouse over the MP3 file... The tracks starts playing! You just have to get your mouse out to stop the sound. Kind of magic! Especially when you don't expect it at all! Well, the volume was low enough, and it was the audio file of Bruce Sterling's conference on technological singularity... It could have been Pantera...

Well, I had two bugs: First, the preview doesn't work on OGG files (that's strange, comparing license hiatus beteween OGG and MP3). I searched the Gnome bug database without finding any reference.
Secondly, some MP3 don't play at all. I tested several files of various sizes, and it didn't work for all of them.

Contrarily to what you say t' works now perfectly with ogg files (Ubuntu dapper LTS).
But -both mp3 and ogg- this only if you choose Nautilus "view as icon" option.

Selma : look at the date of the post: January, 25th 2005. Really glad the software has improved since.
