MP3 trouble

[champ_rock]

hi
i installed ubuntu linux.... but when i try to play mp3 songs from cd it shows an error.. i am using totem.... what should i do

 

[desertwind]

you may be using totem-gstreamer. you'll need mp3 support for gstreamer.

$ apt-get install gstreamer-plugins-mp3

or install totem-xine

$ apt-get install totem-xine

But i havent used totem for playing mp3 (its much a movie player, even i never used totem for playing movies, either). For playing mp3 i'll suggest u using xmms or rhythmbox.

 

[banned2wise]

use amarok if u use ubuntu. Try to download and use xmms which is so similar to winamp and u can play mp3 easily.

 

[vignesh]

beep is good to ,no extra dependencies and only 980 kb similar to xmms and supports both winamp and xmms skins.

*packages.debian.org/stable/sound/beep-media-player

hey guys a lot of trouble..........
i have installed xmms after a series of dependies....
now it is installed but whe n i run it it says install gtk....

Change the ouput plugin to esd.

 

[champ_rock]

tried alsa esd everyhting///////////
still same prob

 

[champ_rock]

ok desertwind
i have set up totem-xine and the apt get has removed my totem gstreamer..........
but now it asks for some
Audio codec 'MPEG 1 Layer 3 CBR' is not handled. You might need to install additional plugins to be able to play some types of movies
... what should i do.... also whether totemxne will run automatically when i run totem movie player.....

 

[vignesh]

Is your soundcard detected.So to system->preferences->multimedia selector and try changing them by testing.

 

[champ_rock]

yeah ubuntu plays the basic system sounds... on atartup and little clicks and all tyhat so the sounds cad is detected.....

 

[vignesh]

Then install beep media player esd plugin.Or download xmms or other player from

packages.ubuntu.com

 

[champ_rock]

done that too... thanks for ur help ... i have dumped ubuntu and installed fc4 ...

 

[vignesh]

Even FC4 does not support mp3 y default....

 

[champ_rock]

yeah already experiinced it and forund that we need some extrtra plugins... wahts the red hat substitute for apt-get....
and how do i use it...

 

[desertwind]

for adding mp3 support in FC4 just use the command

$ yum install gstreamer-plugins-mp3

 

[praka123]

yum is a waste thing,better try apt4rpm ,OR get rpms downloaded and installed manually from sites
like rpms.livna.org or dag's site. u can even get wma plugins for xmms there

 

[vignesh]

Download it from livna but don`t forget the dependencies
