Suse 9.3 without MP3 support


I can't believe Suse 9.3 doesn't come with mp3 support now, it's terrible!

I understand that for legal reasons they had to, so at least I won't stop using Suse

But I refuse to upgrade my own pc to 9.3 until I figure out this mp3 thing.

Has anyone successfully gotten their mp3's to play in Juk or AmaroK on Suse 9.3?

Please let me know how in a step by step fashion. I looked all over for over 8 hours and still found nothing, so if we can figure it out here it will provide good instruction for others.

I tried installing Gstreamer-core, then the plugins, then re-installing amaroK and it said I didn't have the mp3 plugins. I installed the RPM for the gstreamer-plugins-mp3 from Suse 9.2 and still no success.

I installed everything from source, then tried the RPMs for gstreamer.

I even tried to convert my mp3's to ogg but I couldn't even do that!

I re-compiled the multimedia package for kde with the lame package installed too, and Juk still didn't work.

Anyway, if anyone can help, please do!

Thanks,
Tony

Hi, don't worry you can easily install mp3 support. All you have to do after isntallins suse 9.3 is run the yast online update tool, and in the list choose mad multimedia package 1, there are 5 but 1 is the one you want to get. Install it and thats it you have mp3 support. It took me all of 5 min to figure out and do. suse 9.3 is a big improvement speed wise btw.

mp3 support is usually provided by mpg123 package on any linux distro. No need to worry whether it is there by default...or to dump a distro because of that... i think.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the amazingly quick reply

My Dad stumbled upon an article explaining it all, and figured it out in 15 minutes. lol.

Here are the instructions,

Scroll to the very bottom where it says "UPDATE!! 2005/04/06"

Thanks again fellas,
Tony
