Neither .mp3 files nor .ogg files display or play. Downloaded podcasts do not play even if they are sitting in the playlist. It says "Playing" whatever and the blue title bar appears at the bottom of the screen but that's it.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but none of it helps. I have a feeling I'm missing something simple. Amarok has never worked on this computer. Do you think it could be hardware? Other music programs work fine. Can anyone help?

the engine your using is playing up.
in amarok
Settings>Configure Amarok> Engine
change it to something else.
xine-engine
arts-engine
gstreamer-engine
i like gstreamer, arts is unreliable
i've never got xine to work.
