How to install Amarok in Ubuntu (and get it to play MP3s)
Amarok is (in my opinion) the best music player for Unix systems (eg. Linux). This brief tutorial will guide you through installing it in Ubuntu. It will also explain how to get Amarok to play MP3 files.
1.Start by selecting Applications and then Add/Remove.
2. Click the Sound & Video column in the left navigation, and then place a check next to Amarok. Click Apply.
3. You’ll be asked if you wish to apply the changes. Click Apply.
4. If prompted, enter your password to continue.
5. At this point all of the required packages will be downloaded and installed.
6. Once everything has installed, close any windows that are still open. Use the Synaptic Package Manager to install libxine-extracodecs. This will allow Amarok to play MP3 files.
