I think it would be nice if openSuSE had better support for restricted
codec. e.g.: MP3 and WMV. When using Ubuntu (only good thing about the
distro, sorry to say) if I try to play MP3 file it will ask me if I
want to load the add-on, ask for the administrator password and the
codec is installed. In openSuSE while the process is relatively simple
it is more complicated than it should be.  When I try to play MP3 with
AmaroK I am giving an alart which then takes me to a webpage
(http://software.opensuse.org/codecs)  which explains the licensing
and then if I click through some more links I end up to
http://opensuse-community.org/codecs-kde.ymp

My question is why not take the user directly to the
opensuse-community.org link and when YaST2 loads in the information
page that is displayed explain the license issues there. It would be
nice for non-experienced Linux users.
