I need to know how to play my MP3's which are on a seperate harddrive from my linux, on an NTFS-formatted drive. I need to play these off of the drive or be able to copy them into my Linux folder. PLEASE help me!!

Hi,
For this you have to mount the Drives by using the command mount -t -vfat /dev/hda6 /var/songs
Try this command helps to play the songs from the NTFS drives.

Hi, before mount , mkdir /var/songs For this you have to mount the Drives by using the command mount -t -vfat /dev/hda6 /var/songs If you can't mount , you try this command mount -t -ntfs /dev/hda6 /var/songs

Only vfat usually comes with the kernel source, if you cant get it to mount with the -ntfs one, youll need to re-compile the kernel with ntfs support which means patching it.

What? Just click on the volume and find the file. Any modern gui supports this.

bleh. It's always hard to get NTFS to mount, because MS is constantly changing the (for lack of a better word) "standard" for NTFS... That's why I use FAT32 on my duel-boot systems.
