How I play and manipulate MP3s in Fedora 11

pawer126 · 10-22-2009, 11:09 AM

Step 1:Open a terminal and type 'su'.

Step 2:type
'rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/...ble.noarch.rpm'

Step 3:I use audacious ("yum install audacious") for MP3 playing. If you have this already, type 'yum install audacious-freeworld-plugins-mp3 (or WMA, AAC, TTA, ALAC, MMS, if you so choose).

Step 4:I also use audacity-freeworld to manipulate MP3s. yum install audacity-freeworld.

Step 5: yum install lame.

If this doesn't work, please tell me. My memory may be rusty.

is there a question here ??

"yum install audacity" should do it.

No, this is an answer before a potential question. In fedora, audacity out of the repository does not support MP3s. With this method, you can manipulate MP3s.

Does it work for any of you?

John VV · 11-02-2009, 01:11 PM

you might want to use Dangermouse's "autoton/eleven " tool
http://www.dnmouse.org/autoten.html
or mjm's guide

mp3's worked fine when i had fedora 11 installed

Quick question: Do I have to burn another CD for Fedora 12 when it comes out?

Pedroski · 11-06-2009, 06:46 PM

Problem with Step 4 above:

I get:

[root@jiangsu peter]# yum install audacious-freeworld-plugins-mp3
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
No package audacious-freeworld-plugins-mp3 available.
Nothing to do

you are missing the repo .
new users should install DM's autoten -- that is what it is for -- to make things "foolproof" for new users.

can you answer my quick question? Tomorrow's the day!

John VV · 11-16-2009, 09:23 PM

i normally wait 1 month ( about 30 days ) to install a new version of fedora .This allows for the FIRST and maybe second round of "bug fixes" ( and other oops's "fixed"??) to be released .

but if you LIKE fixing things and posting to the dev list the fixes YOU make then go ahead and install fedora 12 on the release date . there is about a 100% chance that "something" will not be working correctly .

Do I have to burn a CD though or does Fedora have the upgrade tools built in?

John VV · 11-17-2009, 04:45 PM

if you have done any research on fedora ... you should know that the "upgrade" ( well the program preupgrade)
has about a 50% chance of working correctly.
I have never had a upgrade work right , there has ALWAYS been something that was fubar'ed .

doing a fresh install is what the fedora developers RECOMMEND

OK I'll try it.
