XMMS failing to play certain MP3s [Fixed]
 
There are a few MP3s that XMMS simply won't play, when I try to load them, nothing happens, almost like it has no support for it.

The few files in question play fine in mplayer, so they are playable, they also play fine on Winamp on Windows.

Here is the output when played in mplayer:

Any ideas?

do you have mpg123 installed? this is the only thing i can think about, i don't know if mpg321 would do.

Yeah it's installed, and I tried mpg321 which makes no difference.

mpg321 and mpg123 can play the song fine, by the way. It's just in xmms that the problem occurs.

Edit:
Turns out I've been being rather stupid - I had mpg123, but not xmms-mpg123!

Not quite sure what XMMS to play what songs it could play...but it works perfectly now.
