Hello. I bet I am not the first one confused by this. I already hang there one hour trying to figure out how to do this without any clue. SuSE 10.1 installs Totem without mp3 support, as always. I googled a lot and discovered a gstream plugin for mp3 (using on mad) should make both Totem and Rhythmbox accept MP3. A webpage told me the need package is gstreamer-plugins-extra-mad and mad Later is very easy to find on packman, gstreamer-plugins-extra-mad is damned difficult to find. I discovered gstreamer-plugins-extra-mad-0.8.11-3.i586.rpm which resulted dependency error: error: Failed dependencies: gstreamer = 0.8.11 is needed by gstreamer-plugins-extra-mad-0.8.11-3.i586 gstreamer-plugins = 0.8.11 is needed by gstreamer-plugins-extra-mad-0.8.11-3.i586 gstreamer-plugins-default = 0.8.11 is needed by gstreamer-plugins-extra-mad-0.8.11-3.i586 libgstreamer-0.8.so.1 is needed by gstreamer-plugins-extra-mad-0.8.11-3.i586 I cannot find gstreamer-plugins-extra-mad particularly for 10.1 on Google too. Actually I searched over hours to trying figure it out. Stragely there are two few people on the internet ask the same question when I google it. A lot of people do asked about SuSE <10.1, answers cannot be applied on 10.1. some answers about how to play mp3 ignores gstream (e.g. http://linuxmint.com/content/view/200/51/) Generally, trying to play mp3 on SuSE 10.1 could be a painful experience (I already took a lot of time pain figured out I need a mp3 plug in for Banshee, but Banshee has other problems that I has to switch to rhythmbox) -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
