Hi,

a few days ago I tried out Fedora 14, but it didn't really live long. I'm probably too stupid to use it.. However, I have now Slackware on my netbook again.
While I was trying Fedora I installed Clementine and I had to install an extra mp3 lib (I installed Fluendo MP3) to enable mp3 support.

On my main machine I have also installed Slackware and Clementine and I can play mp3, so I ponder where's Slackware's mp3 lib? I egrep'ed /var/log/packages for "mp3" but I couldn't find any appropriate.

So, my question is: Does Slackware use a shared mp3 lib or is the mp3 support in all the programs?

Thanks

Slackware uses libmad for mp3 playback support.

Also install lame if you want to create mp3s in Slackware.
