My favorite linux player, Amarok, stopped working (playing mp3 files) after an upgrade! It kept on complaining that the xine engine was not able to play mp3 files. I had checked and all the right packages seemed to have been installed.
However, I found the solution here, you need to install libxine1-plugins package (together with its dependences) and everything comes back to life :-)

hi,
Thanks, your post saved my day.
Glad to hear this! :-)
dude i looked every where and everybody had some long way to fix it that i can't understand but this was like 10sec and i got mp3 back to amarok it's the best in Linux but I'm still looking for i-tunes for my ipod but thanx alot man.
Hi
I don't have an ipod but I'm sure I heard that you can use it with amarok... or probably I didn't get the question?
hey man, linux: so you knew about the bossa conference in brazil? were you there?
Nyway, if you want ideas on
mp3 storage and sharing, check out archive.org. i got my bossa nova and indie rock fix from there!
Two candidates for 2nd best mp3 player?
Thank you. I love you. This saved my day.
when some packages is missed, amarok should notify, so just be sure that you have the "System Tray" in a Panel or as a widget. For example you should be asked for download the mp3 support.
