EASY fix for XMMS MP3 problem..
 

I have found that if you install xmms-mad-0.8-2mdk.i586.rpm from rpmfind with Yast in SuSE-10GM,
the package will install fine and give complete mp3 support. I have been using it for 3 days with no issues so far...//Good Luck....//peter

That's nice of you sharing this....I hope SUSE users will be very happy!

But I want to know what is SuSE 10-GM ..I have heard of SuSE Linux but not of 10-GM..:-?

once installed how do you set up?

There's nothing to set up. Once installed, it should just work. You can open up the preferences dialog in xmms and make sure that the mp3/mad plugin is loaded but other than that, it should just work.

Working now, it seems open-suse is completely deprived of codecs. You wouldnt happen to know where i can get some audio libraries for amaroke?

Yep, I would install and setup apt for suse if you haven't already. If you use it IN ADDITION to YAST, it is a great tool. Anyway, if you haven't installed apt, then Packman has most of what you need in the way of codecs. He built a package called w32codec-all that has all of the windows stuff and then has the faad, flac, divx, etc on his website. Just look under multimedia and under libraries. Here is a link to his menu: http://packman.links2linux.org/ He has built quite a few packages for SuSE-10 already, which is nice...

Have fun...//drum

Do we have to uninstall anything to install the win32-codecs and divx4linux rpm's? I'm very new to SuSe and pretty new to Linux in general.
