Hello List; How do I get Amarok to play mp3 files? Actually, I need to be able to download, play and copy to CD some mp3 files. This is all for my wife's non-profit Clowning and puppet program. We won't be selling this stuff. Using SuSE 10.3 (KDE) with AMD 64 chip. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hmm, I've always been able to play mp3s with amarok, kaffeine or mplayer. Right off the top of my head, I'd guess you don't have the codecs installed. At least for the 3 bit version of suse, it all just works if the multimedia stuff is all there. Suse does ship some mp3 libs, but most people are happy with the multimedia stuff from packman. Add the packman repo to your yast/zypper repositories, then install the multimedia stuff including w32codecs and the packman version of amarok.

No experience personally. However, I've read that 64-bit is mostly for servers these days. There is no 32-bit Flash plugin, there's no 32-bit java plugin.... ...from what I understand, you need the 32-bit versions of Firefox and the multimedia tools. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That's not entirely accurate or, if it is, don't tell the 3 64bit desktops I'm running, or the one my wife uses.

ITYM no 64bit Flash or Java plugins. Strangely, my wife likes to visit a couple of web sites that have a selection of Java games and puzzles, and while Firefox complained about a missing plugin, Konqueror worked just fine with 64bit Java package. Unfortunately, because she dual boots and uses Firefox under XP, she keeps going for Firefox and then complaining that the site doesn't work.
...from what I understand, you need the 32-bit versions of Firefox
That's what I ended up doing to stop her complaints. I installed the 32bit version of Firefox and the 32bit version of Java and the Java plugins and she's happy now.
and the multimedia tools.
No need for that. I'm running the 64bit versions of Amarok, Kaffeine and Xine on my 10.3 box, all from Packman, and there's no problem with them. For video transcoding I use FFmpeg, making packages from the latest sources in the FFmpeg SVN rather than using Packmans version. For MP3 encoding, I use Lame on the command line for WAV files, or grip for ripping CDs.

<snip> That's good to read. I have been holding back getting a 64-bit system for these reasons, but I see you've broken trhough the majority of issues. I would like a 64-bit system so I could get more memory. Maybe I'll take the plunge soon. -- kai www.filesite.org || www.4thedadz.com || www.perfectreign.com remember - a turn signal is a statement, not a request -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Last I checked, there were some multimedia quirks on the 64-bit OS, but not on the 32-bit OS. For instance, some movie files, don't play correctly, some sound files play like alvin and the chipmunks on 64-bit, but no problem on 32-bit. I keep checking back every so often to see if 64-bit has gained parity yet, but for all of my own systems, 32 bit still makes a lot more sense.

Running 10.1 and 10.3, here, both 64 bit. Got everything I needed from Packman. I used to get those warnings, but most things seem to have been resolved, now. -ED- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
