I have tried playing mp3 in Suse 10.1 and it says "u do not have the proper decoder to play this file u need to download plugins" .I have searched google for plugins and couldnt find them. i tried helix bansee,totem players but all says same. can u explain how can I play mp3s here. and why they dont support it from the begining.
All players that come with Open SuSE are not mp3 enabled so as to avoid patent problems. You can get mp3 playback as follows:
If you would like to use xmms (like Winamp) then
1. Open YaST2 and add the following to YaST2 sources *packman.inode.at/suse/10.1/
2. After adding that click on software management, search for xmms, and click on the check mark against xmms ao that it becomes an update icon.
3. Then click accept, YaST2 will also resolve dependencies automatically.
If you want live help through yahoo messenger (use gaim or kopete in linux) let me know.
