Can you change the totem sidebar from playlist to properties and list what it says there?

Hi Justin,
Thanks for the suggestion. I realised I could in fact download VLC media player to my PC directly through synaptic package manager in Ubuntu. VLC seems to have ample codecs. Strongly recommend this application to anyone with Ubuntu (or Windows).
Best wishes
Ali
