Thanks for the info.  I noticed the first time I started amarok that
postgres was not even running but it didn't seem to notice it.  I don't
remember emergeing it either but I may have.

I did figure out what I did earlier.  Tell me if you think I am doing
wrong here.  When I insert a CD, the window pops up on what to do.  I
select 'extract and encode'.  Then it saves it to ~/wav when I tell it
to 'rip' them.  I then move it to my music directory ~/music.  After
that, Amarok picks it right up and they play fine.

The only thing that I do not like is this.  I have to use the PCM slider
to control my music volume which also controls the volume of the sound
of notifications in KDE too.  So when I turn up the music volume it
seems to turn up everything else too.  Any way around this?

Thanks for the help.  Sometimes I just need a little help getting
started.  I'm disabled so time is something I have to much of sometimes.
 I like to tinker with my rig.

Now to move my OS to another drive without messing up anything.  ;-)
Wish me luck.

Thanks

Dale
