amaroK help

I'm trying to play mp3s and songs from my ipod [m4a] through amaroK on SuSE 10 -- but I can't get anything to play. AmaroK finds all of my music fine - even the songs listed in my ipod - but none of them play. Whenever I click play on a song it just sais "playlist finished" and doesn't play. The volume on amaroK and my system are both full blast, and I tested my speakers through the control panel so I know they're fine.
Do I need to install plugins or codecs or something?

Ehm... I haven't read the amarok code, but it's seems to lack about file reproduction... I can play only MP3 and OGG files (but only stereo MP3...)

you need to install gstreamer and libmad0 packages
(i use debian so I dont know how suse 10 package manager works)

then tell amarok to use gstreamer (TOOLS-CONFIGURE AMAROK-ENGINE)
