The results were actually pretty promising. I got a readable summary buffer, and the articles had a readable description, followed by a clickable URL. I clicked the URL, and unsurprisingly Opera asked me of it should download or Open the file. I clicked on "Open" for a change. Then Opera downloaded the file, and once more asked me if I should Open it. I clicked on "OK", and it opened and started playing the MP3 file in Noatun (this is on KDE). So for playback on my laptop, I guess Gnus would do as a client. It could be a bit smoother. Ie. skip Opera alltogether and just download the MP3 and send it directly to a sound player. Does anyone else have experiences with this? Also for managing an MP3 player, ie. syncing new files over, deleting old and played files, I guess there's quite a few pieces missing. Has anyone thought about implementing something in emacs lisp? Thanx! - Steinar
