I guess the first thing I'd do is learn more about the files that sound juicer is creating. $ file myfile.ogg That'll give you some information on what is actually in the file. Also, with gstreamer there is a lot of plugins, you might not have the right ones. On gutsy, if you run totem it's pretty smart about looking for what you have and downloading it. You might try to play the files with totem to see if that works (Totem uses gstreamer also). --Ted
