I was shooting blind and I _knew_ the extension didn't matter, because Linux checks the actual file, but I changed my rip extension to .wav and it almost worked. Same thing you used, go figure why it's needed. Anyway, that let mplayer play the encoded mp3s, but not JuK. I just started out trying things and lo and behold, OGG worked with JuK. Now you go and tell me it's better anyway. Thanks for your efforts, I'm happy now and busy pumping Christmas music onto my computer.
