note: i am a bit newie in linux...
NOte: i really wolud like to be able to listen mp3 in amaroK because it seems to be very cool but....jajaj

thanks....

I only know the way using XMMS to play mp3 files in SUSE 10.0.
After u installed xmms,download a rpm package which was called xmms-mpg123-1.2.7-21.i386.rpm.

get it here
http://havardk.xmms.org/dist/xmms-1.....7-21.i386.rpm

then use following command to install this package:
#rpm -ivh xmms-mpg123-1.2.7-21.i386.rpm --nodeps --force

Finally,change the xmms output plugins to oss~~~

With the right setup, many SuSE multimedia package will play mp3: kaffeine, amarok, xine, gxine, mplayer, realplayer, kmplayer, kplayer ... Works on 4 pcs that I have at home with SuSE-9.3 and SuSE-10.0 installed. I use Packman and Guru for my source locations for SuSE multimedia. There have been lots of threads on this (and other) forums as to how one sets up their SuSE to play mp3s. I believe a search, should give you a plethora of threads with various instructions.

install the packman multimedia package.

Add packman as an install repository, then do search for xine

Ugh... I hate how commercial distrobutions have all mp3, avi, dvd, and other stuff removed.
Who "owns" the mp3 codec anyway? If it were so easy to copyright a file format, I'd march down and get ASCII copyrighted in my name and get rich (or the world would start using EBCDIC or something). What I did with my suse 10 laptop is remove everything xmms and install the latest rpm from www.xmms.org. If nothing else works, might as do what I did.


rpm -i xmms-1.2.10.rpm
^this is the FC1 rpm from www.xmms.org
and see all the conflicting packages

then remove them all with

rpm -e xmms-lib-something_or_other
and finally, once all the conflicting packages are removed, you can install the
rpm you got from www.xmms.org.

ok, i could use xmms doing what Zoonin says...i have download the multimedia package from pacman also....If i use xmms the mp3 works perfectly...but does anyone knows what can i do to be able to use amaroK...because i really like it but it doesn't works fine. when i select an mp3 song, it start and inmediatly pass to the next and so...

do i need certain package or rpm ??

thanks

if i want to install all the multimedia package of packam do i have to install ir one each time or i can't download and installed all in one ? how can i do this ?? really really thanks

i have this two pages:
http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.0/

http://packman.links2linux.org/index...tion=cat&cat=1

how can i (with YaST) install all the packes together ???

thanks

Set them up as install repositories .. open yast

Installation Source

add those as your installation sources.

Greetings I guess someone can help me!

I`ve read the replies but im a new user, i was a windows user so i guess it`s a little hard for me to change and i dont know how rpm files should be installed, and when i check the web theres a lot of them mostly on www.xmms.org so i dont know which one to choose.
and i have the same problem with amarok is there a way that amarok play mp3?
Ii really like Suse but im still learning,

Thx for any help
Greetings from Central America:

look...i am very similar to you...i have used suse 9, then 9.3 and now 10...but just for programming and with vmware...so i am still i bit newie....

what you have to do is installed the full packman packages as an installed repository....then you download all of it...it's 300MB approximatelly...

after that you will be able to use amarok, view xvid, dix, etc

bye!

Thanks I will try!, well something else, how does work bittorrent with linux?, is there an application for linux?=

Yes...i think it's called Ktorrent or something like that..i tried it just without installing nothing more of suse 10 (i mean without packam) and it works perfectly

I've just finished upgrading my laptop from SuSE 9.3 to SuSE 10, which of course broke my mp3 playback. Here is what I did to fix it, (I'm listening to mp3's as I type this...)
Start up YaST
Under Software click on Installation Source
Click on Add then HTTP
fill in "packman.iu-bremen.de" in Server Name, (without the quote marks).
fill in "/suse/10.0/" for Directory on Server, (again, without the quote marks).
Click Ok then Finish.
Back at the YaST Control Center click on Software Management.
You should see "kdemultimedia3-arts-mad" "kdemultimedia3-mad" "lame" "mpg321" check them all.
Next type "xmms" in the search, you should check "xmms" "xmms-lib" "xmms-lib-mad" "xmms-plugins" & maybe "faad2-xmms-plugin" though I don't think you would require it. Some of the "xmms" ones may already be checked / installed, that's fine. Click Accept and it should download & install them, click Finish at the end. Fire up xmms and try it out.
Hope this can get you going... This really is a nice distribution.

A couple of additions to Gsidious' post...

1. When you set up Packman in "Install Sources", you may want to set "Refresh" to "On". This repository changes quickly, and I had a couple failed installs with "File not found on server" before the I figured out why. It takes a little longer to refresh when you open Software Manager, but it saves embarrassment later.

2. While you're updating all the other stuff, you should grab w32-codecs from Packman, too.

3. There is a "quick-and-dirty" way to update all your packages...

Open Software Manager and click on the "Filter" pull-down, select "Package Groups". When the package groups have loaded in the left-hand window, scroll to the bottom and select "zzz-all".

When all the available selection have loaded, right-click on the right hand window, select "All on this list" from the drop-down, then select "Update if newer available" from the second drop-down.

If you click on the blank header square to the left of "Packages", it will sort the packages by status, and you can see at a glance what is being updated.
