It is also possible to downgrade a package using Yast. Click on a package, click on versions, then highlight an earlier version and press accept. I found this by accident when I needed to downgrade kernels, it worked great! I am mentioning this because i have not seen any mention of it anywhere..

I had a bunch of other stuff that complained id3lib was required; so I couldn't uninstall the packman version. However I figured what the heck, downloaded id3lib from a SuSE ftp server and ran: rpm --force -U id3lib-3.8.2-233.i586.rpm
For future reference, the way to downgrade an rpm without using --force is
rpm -Uvh --oldpackage <filename>
After that K3b allows me to add MP3s to a new audio project and doesn't toss up any more errors. Thanks Anders!
No problem
