Hello all,
I am playing around with Kubuntu for the first time and ran into this
message when
trying to play MP3's in Amarok.:
--------------------------
The gst-engine claims it cannot play MP3 files. You may want to choose a
different engine from the Configure Dialog, or examine the installation of
the multimedia-framework that the current engine uses.
--------------------------
After some googleing I came across this in the Kubuntu FAQ:
------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I play MP3s?
Install the *akode-mpeg* and *gstreamer0.8-mad* packages from the universe
repository and *killall artsd* to restart the sound server. You will also
have to restart Amarok and Kaffeine.
In breezy you can add MP3 support to K3b by installing *k3b-mp3*.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the Kubuntu package manager "Adept" I am not able to find the
"*akode-mpeg"
*and *"gstreamer0.8-mad identified in the FAQ.
*I hope there are some Kubuntu fans who can help me figure out what I am
missing.
Thanks,
Keith
