Mp3s don't play in Amarok

[basx]

Hi all:

I have a really weird problem. I have Amarok 2,30 and I subscribed to some podcasts (the same one that my Windows machine uses). When I tried to listen to the MP3s nothing happens. There's no progress and there's no talking.

I downloaded the MP3 support files and tried again but still nothing.

I hjave't yet copied an MP 3 file from my Win computer to see if there's a problem.

In the meantime anyy suggestions or ideas as to what's wrong?

Thanks!

Re: Mp3s don't play in Amarok

copy an mp3 to the machine and try it. let us know how that works out. its possible that they are not sending you mp3 tracks. or those require some DRM not supported here. check to be sure that you have added the files to the playlist then attempted to play them.

I recently had a similar problem that affected Kaffeine as well as Amorok but not VLC. I had to install libxine1- plugins. Now all my music apps work again. Kaffeine and Amorok had stopped working out of the blue.

Hi all:
Well I copied a distinct MP3 file to my music subdirectory and then played it. It worked!
I then tried the podcasts that I'd subscribed to and they work.

can't explain what happened but I'm satisfied

Than ks for all your help
