Re: Amarok and mp3 [solved]

Hi, everyone,

I recently install amarok (on amd64), using the xine engine, but
it refuses to play any mp3 files. After some searching, I also
installed libxine1-ffmpeg, and have w32 codecs installed, but it still
won't play mp3s. I tried dpkg-reconfigure and purging and
reinstalling amarok, but it's still no go. What am I missing here?

My bad. I had "x'd out" of amarok instead of using the quit item in
the menu. Apparently it kept running in the background even across
the reinstall. After quitting via the menu and restarting it,
I can play mp3s.
