MP3 trouble

champ_rock · 08-10-2005, 07:58 PM

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 · 08-10-2005, 08:49 PM

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

Code:

$ apt-get install gstreamer-plugins-mp3

or install totem-xine

Code:

$ 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.

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 · 09-10-2005, 09:16 AM

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

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

vignesh · 13-10-2005, 07:39 PM

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

champ_rock · 13-10-2005, 08:50 PM

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

vignesh · 14-10-2005, 06:25 PM

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

packages.ubuntu.com

champ_rock · 15-10-2005, 05:05 PM

vignesh · 15-10-2005, 05:58 PM

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

champ_rock · 15-10-2005, 10:15 PM

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 · 15-10-2005, 11:22 PM

for adding mp3 support in FC4 just use the command

Code:

$ yum install gstreamer-plugins-mp3

praka123 · 16-10-2005, 12:03 AM

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 · 16-10-2005, 04:11 PM

Download it from livna but don`t forget the dependencies
