Mp3 music doesn't play
The music player already on the distros, does it read mp3's? or just music CD's? I have tried Elitist and sound was ok. but wasn't able to play any mp3 from my SD card. any pointers?

Re: Mp3 music doesn't play
Yes it does.
Is the SD card successfully mounted? What if you copy a file to the hard drive and play it there?
Find out where the SD card is mounted and play the songs with moc player, with mplayer, with mpg123
These are the music players besides deadbeef that are packaged:
I guarantee that 98% of media files can be played with the players.

Re: Mp3 music doesn't play
give it a proper test instead of trying to read stuff from your SD card. just try some local MP3 first, so you'll know whether the issue is with playing MP3 or with access to your SD.

Re: Mp3 music doesn't play
If they play OK in your installation I expect your card hasn't been mounted.

Re: Mp3 music doesn't play
I tried playing an online file at first using mp3juices. but the codec wasn't there so it didn't supported it. So I tried access the file from my SD card, it did read my file, but no sound. Mixer didn't work. I am a neewbie, I know and I am not familiar to 'how' access the apt get...I would need the full of set of actions do to it. Step by Step.
Those players you spoke of earlier, how can download them?
Thanks

Re: Mp3 music doesn't play
Mocp, and mpg23 are already installed. Typing each of them into a terminal or alt+f3 will get them started. Otherwise use:
then:
to install, for example, mplayer. Just change mplayer to which of them you want to install.
To learn how to use apt-get look at the wiki:
http://linuxbbq.org/wiki/index.php?title=APT
or type 'man apt' in a terminal to read the manual.
If you have no sound, in a terminal type:
which will bring up the alsa mixer.
Alsamixer automatically opens with master volume selected. Press the up arrow on your keyboard to increase volume. You can see that each of the bars have '00' at their base. If instead master volume has 'MM' then your volume is muted. Press 'm' to unmute.
Not sure which release you are using, but you might just have a volume applet on your panel, which makes things easier.
It's always good to get stuck in first rather than waiting for a step by step how-to. Check out the bbq wiki, BBQ Cookbook, and use Auntie Google. Otherwise cooking is just by others' recipes, and you will never win 'Come Dine With Me'. :D

I'm not sure if you mean that you tried to play a file that you downloaded, or whether you are referencing 2 problems here.Reply with quote

...oh.
Re: Mp3 music doesn't play
^ that. and alsamixer has a Wiki entry too :)
just try this:
- get an mp3 on your PC harddrive in your home directory.
- open a terminal and type
- you should see that mp3 file there. navigate to it if necessary using the arrowkeys, press ENTER to play it.
- do you hear sound? no?
- check alsamixer as explained before, see if no channels are muted (has an 'M' on the channel) or the volume is down.
- report back here with results.

Re: Mp3 music doesn't play
Thanks to you all for those tip. I'll update you soon.
Re: Mp3 music doesn't play
yeah it works fine for sure i use deadbeef, audacious, vlc although if you want to install pithos (pandora client (awesome program)) for online streams you will have to install fluendo mp3 code to set it for mp3 quality instead of aacplus if that is what you want.
sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
also welcome to the bbq!

Re: Mp3 music doesn't play
One other thing to check if you still have a problem, in alsamixer press F6 to see if you have two soundcards in your system; newer computers sometimes do, & you will need to change which to use. (anologue & hdmi)
