amarok and mp3s

jude254 · 05-10-2006, 07:40 AM

Now, I know amarok doesnt have supprt for mp3s out of the box. However, I have looked for the gstreamer0.8-mad package in adept in order to install it, all that comes up under gstreamer is shown as installed. However, I cannot find the -mad package, nor the akode-mpeg, only akode plugin which is already installed.

Hope you guys can help!

Look at freshrpms, that's where I found the stuff. Also, remember that amarok lets you "pick" a sound engine, maybe you already have one that works.

Thanks. Should I look for freshrpms in adept then? BEcause if so, nothing comes up

I have looked for the engine, I only have Engine GStreamer. Below that though, it asks me for output plugin, and I can choose between alsasink,osssink,afsink,gconfaudiosink,nassink.

Is there anything I can do?

Woops, what distro? I'm on FC5, I have maybe 3,4 engine choices, but I have a lot of stuff installed.

Im using Kubuntu 5.10. Is that what you meant by distro? Sorry newbie here

thanks

Right, that's exactly what I meant. OK, I will back out, and let some of the Ubuntu people help you with this. GOOD LUCK!

HI thanks! I get the gstreamer packages now in adept, but the problem is (as I say here http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=443826) that I cannot install it because it gives me an error message.

Let me know if you have any suggestion in the above post

thanks anyway
