(golinux runs silent and deep . . .)

...but wouldn't you just love to have something like "Ride of the Valkyries" play when your desktop loads?

...or "Flight of the Bumblebee"?

Golinux is going to scream at us when she wakes up, but what the heck, it only takes 30" to split a topic into a new one.

What if in openbox-autostart you put some plain player and the name of the intro file?  As the last piece with something like sleep 8 .... &&
I'd like to hear Shadow Play on Miyo and Jimmy Dawkins or Magic Sam on vuu-do 

My music is like wine.  Old!
I like one piece maple necks myself

Figured it out.

No extra player needed; it's done with alsa.

Now when my desktop starts, I'm greeted with music.

What I meant by old was about the time the "Broadcaster" came out

Classical?  Yeah, Roy Buchanan could play classical, then make whale noises somewhere in the middle of it.

But on my fork there would be a piece by Nancy Griffith, Tecumseh Valley maybe, so all kind of music lovers can fall in love with her.

I'd pick it up, and "attempt" to play Pop Goes the Weasel on one string...messing it up on purpose. Then I'd apologize, and "try" to play it again...messing it up on purpose. To see the looks on people's faces...LOLOLOL!

Then I'd say something like..."Aw good grief!"...and actually start playing some classical piece. LOLOLOL!

The looks were priceless!

Ahhh...but those days are gone...

The best guitar I ever owned was a hand-crafted classical Takamine...

But Wicd is interesting too.

and a bit of guitar sliding.

As an ex-rocker, rock band member, and guitar player...this is what I envision as Miyo guitar sliding...

PS  What I liked out of the whole experience with redcore was the music while entering the desktop  (hint hint hint).

L              OOO       L             !!
L             O     O     L             !!
L             O     O     L             !!

LLLLLL     OOO       LLLLLL    !!

That music intro is stinkin' awesome! I've tried to figure it out to no avail...as yet.
