[SOLVED] Play MP3 in Mandriva

nightrider · 02-28-2011, 06:54 PM

When I installed my Mandriva 2010 Spring, the Amarok player was installed together.
I can't play MP3. Then I downloaded and installed(at least, I think...) lame.

[ricardo@localhost ~]$ rpm -qa lame
lame-3.98.4-1plf2010.1
[ricardo@localhost ~]$

How do I make Amarok play MP3? E.g. how I associate lame and Amarok?

I think you need to install phonon-xine.

Please, tell me more...

I remember that I had Amarok playin MP3 in Mandriva 2008... Is your suggestion a missing package?

Yes. You need to install the xine backend in order to play mp3's in amarok.

While I was waiting your answer I done the command mentioned and it installs 8 packages. Am I ready to play MP3 in Amarok now?

corp769 · 02-28-2011, 08:06 PM

What packages did you install?

nightrider · 02-28-2011, 08:12 PM

I closed the konsole window... But it was 8. Is there aa way of inquire the last installed packages? I remember that there were 3 ou 4 that have xine in the in their names...

If anything man, try running amarok as of right now and see if you have mp3 support.

nightrider · 02-28-2011, 08:24 PM

You were right! I try and bingo! Amarok MP3 ready and operational

Thank you very much!

You're the guy

Awesome! I knew it was that package, even though I haven't used Mandriva in a while. Add rep if you feel like it too. Cheers,
