    upgrade went well but is source list correct then

    I am not getting my source list to allow me to play mp3, how should it read then?

    this is how I have changed it but it is probably wrong

    Re: upgrade went well but is source list correct then

    Any line in your sources.list which starts with a deb or deb-src should have the # removed from in front of it.

    Then, in command line, do

    sudo apt-get update

    sudo apt-get upgrade

    You should then be able to find the necessarys.

      Alternatively, just try to play an mp3 file in Amarok. It SHOULD then pop up a box asking you if you want to install the mp3 SW. If you then click "yes", you should be all set.

      You may also want to take a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/MP3 for details.
