Playing MP3

[wijnenjl]

I am working with Suse 10.2: cat /etc/SuSE-release
openSUSE 10.2 (i586)
VERSION = 10.2

Some time ago Amarok suddenly refused to play any MP3 files.

I had been working already for a few hours removing and installing packages with smart.

With your list (the actual versions are sometimes a bit newer in Suse 10.2 and a few files could not be found), I finally had Amarok working again.

The lists that work in Suse 10.2 are.

Common libraries: rpm -q w32codec-all boost libdvdcss2 libfame libXvMCW speex
w32codec-all-20071007-0.pm.1
boost-1.33.1-42
package libdvdcss2 is not installed
libfame-0.9.1-0.pm.8
package libXvMCW is not installed

you should try installing vlc media player. i installed it and it works like magic even plays .wma tracks
Although it needs a couple of library rpms thats nt an obstacle

Install XMMS, the media player that suports MP3 Playback:

yum install xmms

... given that you have internet access. Otherwise download the binary if its available on the site or build it from source.
