noatun crash on mp3

[lostson]

 Hello 
 I have been trying to get noatun to play mp3 but when i do it crashes. I have 
installed kdemultimedia-extras per the instructions on many sites i have 
visited. Juk won't play them either. Is anyone else experiencing this and if 
so have you been able to fix it, thanks.

I don't think you'll have any success with Noatun and MP3's. MP3's are a 
problem, as there are issues involved in including MP3 support into some 
distro's.

I use Mhwaveedit, which will play .wav, .ogg, and .mp3's. Admittadly it's 
really an editor, but plays the files well, and will also record stuff.

It's available as source code from.
https://gna.org/projects/mhwaveedit/

to compile it you will need to have, libsndfile-devel, and libsamplerate-devel 
installed. To play MP3's you will also need to install "lame" which you can

get from either Dag's repo, or Freshrpms in the case of FC5.

http://dag.wieers.com
http://bordeaux.freshrpms.net

Sorry. I can't give you the URL's for Yums sources list, as I use Apt, but 
there are no dependencies for lame so you should have no problems installing 
it if you just DL the rpm's.

Nigel.

For fc5 and newer, you need kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree (and
akode-extras-nonfree) from livna.

Sure you got that right?? I tried :

yum -y --enablerepo livna install akode-extras-nonfree

and got nothing... Did I do it wrong?

You've installed kdemutlmedia-extras-nonfree and noatun crashes on *all*
mp3s? (Or just 1 or 2 potentially bad ones)?

Oops, it's just akode-extras (but that should get pulled in
automatically when installing kdemultimedia-extras-nonfree).

Neither have i ever succeded .

Tried but never made it . The way i have been using to play mp3s is to
download and compile xmms . This way i bypass the Fedora Project
problems related to mp3 ( actually there is only one problem , namely the
algorithm of mp3 is patented , which means that someone has to pay the
rights for the algorithm , and that's why mp3 support isn't included in any
Fedora Core distro that i know ).
So if everything else fails just go to

www.xmms.org and download the thing .
