Did you know that you could actually have an audio file playing when you point your mouse pointer on it?

This feature is absolutely cool to use, especially when you have a large collection of audio MP3s or OGGs and wanna quick preview each one to find something particular.

Run the command below to get this audio-preview feature in your Ubuntu‘s Gnome – Nautilus.
sudo aptitude install mpg321 vorbis-tools

(Its native only to Nautilus, but in KDE you have this feature inbuilt and on installation itself! Just look under Component settings perhaps.)

And after installation it’d play MP3, OGG, WMA too I guess. Just hover your mouse over the file you wish to play and it starts off instantly!

You can of-course, also turn it off in Nautilus > Edit > Preferences > Preview tab.

Thanks to [U-T] for the tip.
