MP3s with linux?

C0B01 · 08-12-2005, 08:05 PM

I'm pretty darn new to linux, and I know it doesnt come with mp3 codec support, ive heard there are some 'universal' packages though you can get... GStreamer8.0MPEG

How <i>exactly</i> do I get it?

Never experienced that before. X11Amp and Xine both played mp3's if I recall correctly.

how simple is it to install? *needing an idiots guide*

You know I have no idea, see if you can find a program called xine and see if it opens your mp3s.

worth a try though..

if you are running debian,

type

Code:

apt-get install xmms

after it is done installing start up xmms and the mp3's should play fine, that is if your sound is configured properly.

yes... XMMS is much like winamp... it plays most audio codecs including MP3's...

Or just use the music palyers already on the distro........

On FC3 (dunno if the packages are different from distro to distro) I have two already on here, and an audio ripper to put the mp3's in my /home/username directory.......

Most of the linux media players will play any file type you want. You just need the correct codec.
