Re: problem using amarok

Hi,
I'm able to make my laptop sound but when I try to play an mp3 in amarok I get
a strange behaviour: the player skips to the next song very quickly and no
play is emitted. Moreover, no errors appears. The same file, reproduced with
another audio progam works very well. My distro is kubuntu 7.1, is there a
library or something I must update on my system to get amarok working?


I've seen that behaviour when I don't have the correct codecs to play
the song. I'm afraid I don't know what you need to install for the
(KDE-based) Amarok to play MP3s, but I'm sure someone does.

This might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats

You don't mention what version of Ubuntu you're using. If it's the
latest 7.04, try playing the same file in a gnome application, like
Rhythmbox, and see if it asks to install some software to enable it to
play MP3s.
