[Cialug] Malware, Spellcheck and iPods (Was Re: LUG meeting tomorrow)

[Daniel A. Ramaley]

I've had the reverse experience; some of my files crashed old XMMS but 
are handled fine by Audacious. One thing i definitely prefer about 
Audacious, however, is Unicode support in the file names and tags. It 
was rather annoying when all my Asian music showed up as ????????? in 
XMMS--made it rather difficult to distinguish songs.
