Ok, so Novell in their infinite wisdom decided to remove MP3 support from SuSE around v10.0. It’s a bit hard to find concrete information on how to get some sort of mp3 support in SuSE, so here it is:
- Install XMMS
- Download the XMMS mpg123 rpm from this page.
- Install it:
\#rpm -ivh xmms-mpg123-1.2.7-13.i386.rpm

- Run XMMS and enjoy!
I don’t know how to get mp3 working in a lot of the other programs, I’ll try and work that out later. There’s a short article here in DesktopLinux.com on Hacking OpenSuSE - getting mp3 and dvd support in SuSE.
