Amarok freezes when trying to play an mp3

[akiratheoni]

I've installed Amarok as well as amarok-xine. I've also installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras as well as the kubuntu-restricted-extras and Amarok freezes when I try to play an mp3.

Help?

Thanks.

What version of ubuntu are you using?

[akiratheoni]

Oh oops lol.

Fresh install of Ubuntu 8.04. Amarok is the same version in the repos.

[akiratheoni]

Bump.

Amarok worked last night but now it freezes up again =/

EDIT: It freezes for ALL music files, not just mp3.

Double post... weird.

i'd say do a complete removal then reinstall. i'm using amarok with a fresh install of 8.04 and haven't had a single issue. so try:

apt-get remove amarok

then perhaps:

apt-get --purge remove amarok

to clean up any residial config files. not sure if the last one is needed though.

Weird. Amarok will play music then when I reboot it freezes up and refuses to play mp3s. Rebooting the computer again will make the music play again. But then if I reboot it stops working...

like i said, try uninstalling.
