Version: 2.0.0 (using KDE KDE 3.0.5) Installed from: RedHat RPMs Compiler: 3.2 20020903 Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --host=i386-redhat-linux --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit OS: Linux In redhat 8.0 notun does not play my mp3s. Redhat people say its due to some patent problem. It has done the same with xmms but I downloaded the latest version of xmms and it now does play my mp3s. I did the same for noatun but it didn't do what was expected i.e. play my mp3s. I got the rpm of noatun from redhat site ,may be this is a reason that it didn't allow playing mp3s but noatun.kde.org doesn't provide any source code/rpm. If any other source for rpm/source code is available where notun plays the mp3s plz tell. I also the last bug related to same problem on Mandrake but there no solution was provided. Kindly provide a solution so that I can play my mp3s in KDE's own media player - Noatun.
It was redhat's decision to disable mp3 support in the packages they build/distribute. You're free to download and rebuild the kdemultimedia package as distributed by kde.org and/or use the mp3-enabled packages available from http://kde-redhat.sf.net/
Packaging problem. Bring it to Red Hat, but I doubt they can/will change their policy towards MP3. To rebuild KDE with MP3 support, download the source code from ftp.kde.org.
Subject: Re: does not play my mp3s Thanx Dieter for the prompt reply, I too know that it was redhat's decision to disable mp3 support but was unable to locate the src of kde-multimedia from any other source other than redhat servers (at least google and yahoo along with rpmfind told me so). I searched the sourceforge too for noatun but it said its not in its developement project list. Hence I contacted bugs.kde. I am going through the site u have mentioned and I hope it will answer my needs. Thanking you.
