amarok installation in Ubuntu

Filed under: amarok, installation, mp3, ubuntu — unni @ 5:57 am

amarok logo Amarok is one my favorite audio player in Linux. It is stable and provides handful of features, it act as a audio player, podcast client, radio receiver and much more ………..

I tried amarok in Linux mint, it is the default player in Linux Mint, so i like to install it in Ubuntu, which is my default Operating system :-)

The installation was so easy, need of only one command

# apt-get install amarok

But after the installation i started amaroK and opened one of the mp3 song from my list, but it showed a pop up box saying “Mp3 support is not enabled”.

After some search in the forum i got the solution as to install “libxine-extracodecs”, perfect it solved it

# apt-get install libxine-extracodecs

So i started hearing my songs $$$$$$$$ :-)
