Re: Playing song...!

["Ananth A" <dumieel hotmail com>]

Hey all, thanx for the response regarding playing song.

fine, Actually i wanted to play a song just by calling XMMX. how can i write 
a function using system calls and how to attach to the button??

is that simple system call will work or i have to copy the full source code 
in to my program and so on?

and any one tell me using gtk+ if i develop any GUI, will it be helpful for 
me in the future??? Meaning, whats the future of gtk+ (gui) developers?? i 
feel, bcas this is very new to the market.

thanx in advance,
dumieel.
