Can someone send me some websites on getting mp3s and ACC files to work on linux?
I still have a windows boot on my other computer.

I am having a hard time getting musicbox to play mp3s .... I thought I installed/pluginned... gstreamer
but it crashes.. each time I try play an mp3.
How did you install the rpms? Did you use apt? Here's what I would do. download apt-get from freshrpms. Use this address.

Download the RPM, not the src.rpm. Install. Go to your favorite commandline. Change to root, or use sudo...I don't know how you're configured, and issue the command.
apt-get update
Then, once that completes,
apt-get install synaptic
This will install synaptic on your computer and give you access to sites like Dag's. I don't think these guys get enough thanks, so here's a thnks. THANKS
Anywho, once you've got Synaptic installed, I would search for gstreamer and reinstall everything you've got and see if you're missing anything. The important one you need is called
gstreamer-plugins-extra-audio
La Paz --andy
understood ... thanks so much for the quick response. I understand yum and I understand rpm. does APT work the same?
