Amarok crashing problem

[Donn Washburn]

  Thanks for the reply

Any of openSuSE's Amarok releases are minus of any mp3 software.
That includes k3b and amarok.  I have been a user of openSuSE for about 
10 - 15 (as plain SuSE) years and not one of them works except on oggs.  
I have a mix of oggs and mp3 amounting to about 910 recording which 
openSuSE's stock Amarok misses any mp3.  If you update using your 
suggested site (I agree with you) the audio works on MP3 .  You still 
need to correct Amarok to get mp3 working as I remember.

Goodnews! openSuSE seems to have fixed my dbus problem in 11.4v2.
Audio works on mp3s after a zypper of.  This is on a recent git version.

zypper install ffmpeg flash-player gst-fluendo-mp3 k3b-codecs libdvdcss 
libxine1-codecs phonon-backend-xine w32codec-all amarok-xine
And then a recent Amarok update
