Linux Sound

wfernley · 02-13-2006, 08:15 AM

I'm trying to play MP3's on my Linux PC. I'm having trouble with all my players when playing MP3s. I can play the Sound Card Test in Linux and hear the sound file fine, I can play music CD's fine but I can't play MP3's. I tried using XMMS and Amarok. They both do the same thing - Skip through all the Mp3's really fast. I tried changing all the outputs but found thay all do the same thing.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance for your help!

No MP3 decoder is installed. You need mad, amarok-xine... other such packages. Why not try searching for mp3 in your distro's section on this website, I would be willing to bet large sums of money you find a solution via installing a few packages.

Without knowing your distro, we couldn't give you instructions more than a vague...what I did, actually.

I tried finding an RPM for the amarok-xine and mad but I could not find one.

I am using Fedora Core 4 with KDE.

Thanks again for your help!

Thanks for the link I will try posting. I tried using the search, for some reason the search never works. Always says there were no results.
