Hi Ljubomir,
If MP3 music 'works' (meaning it successfully plays on Centos/Gnome) why would additional codecs be required ?
Does it? It was not my experience on either CentOS or Fedora. MP3 codecs are proprietary, and are not distributed by Red Hat distro's (RHEL and Fedora)
I have been using C 5 for 13 months. Thus I am certainly not an expert on it or on Linux generally.
I have never ever had any problem whatsoever playing MP3 files on Centos 5.x
I use Audacity as my preferred audio programme, generally importing .wav files and exporting them as .mp3 files. The mp3 files simply play and I have never had a problem. Perhaps I obtained the correct codecs without being aware they were fundamental to playing MP3 on Centos/Gnome.
As far as I know there is no codec in base repo that can play MP3 files. Not with Gstreamer nor with Xine.
My repos are:-
CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Debuginfo.repo CentOS-Media.repo CentOS-Vault.repo elrepo.repo epel.repo epel-testing.repo kbsingh-CentOS-Misc.repo rpmforge.repo
which specific codec do you need to play mp3 files in Centos ?
