I already installed the above stuff and it took. It just does not recognize the WMA files. I'll figure this out eventually. Now, a new "problem": I store most of my music files on a windoes server and would like to know what I need to do to get Amarok on Fedora to recogize the NTFS filesystem URL. Amarok seems to complain that it does not know how to use the smb://<music files> or so it seems. Maybe I need to install the NTFS support files for this one, but I will defer this since it seems I don't really need to do this since it *seems* to be already supported... What I did was to open 'Computer->Network->SystemName->M$->Music', the drag and drop a Music Directory into Playlist and the playlist was populated with all of the supported music files. It is interesting that the 'Directory' column shows the 'smb://SystemName/...' for all of the files that were dropped there. But when I double-click the specific file to play, an error pops up saying: No suitable input plugin. This often means that the url's protocol is not supported. Network failures are other possible causes. smb://<SystemName>/M$/Music/classical/Mozart-Requeim.mp3 What do I need to do to get this to work? Thanks!
