Sorry I took a few days to return to this. Unexpected (unrelated)
problems in the last few days...

Loading only one file still does not work as well. The same file can be
used with amarok (which I don't dare to use normally because amarok is
waay too buggy).

I own all files, I have read and write access to them.

I tried all possible audio playing plugins:
OSS driver
Esound Output
Disk Writer
ALSA

These are all marked as 1.2.10.

Thanks for all the suggestions and attention anyway...

At the moment I'm also taking suggestions on other mp3 players and
decent web radio being broadcasted in Real format :-|

Just tried to get mpd to work and failed...

Cheers,
Francisco.
