openSuSE and Amarok

[Peter C. Ndikuwera]

Donn,

OpenSUSE, for legal reasons, ships without the ability to play MP3s (
http://en.opensuse.org/Restricted_formats), although the fluendo plugin
should be able to play them.

Easiest way to get your amarok up and running is to use the Packman
repository

http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories#Packman

and install updated xine-lib (libxine1)

If not using the svn version, then you can install Packman's version of
Amarok.

Hope this is clear enough.

Peter
