K3b in ubuntu and MP3's

[luke0927]

OK so i was looking for a new cd burning software brassero freezes up and i have some issues with it sometimes...I saw K3b so it will work fine being a KDE application in GNOME (i installed it any way and it loads up fine) but when i try to add and mp3 player it doesn't like it is there a codec or something to get it to support mp3s in ubuntu?

There are lots of media players for ubuntu. all the way from command line programs such as mpg321 and cplay to ubuntus defarult rhythmbox and the kde application amarok.

If k3b successfully burns your mp3 to cd4 disks or dvd disks, it is probably working. If your media player doesn not play mp3, that would be a seperate issue.

What are you using for a media player?

to see if you have the tools to encode mp3s
try

aptitude search lame

aptitude search sox

(not necessary, but k3b likes sox)

If they are not present. install via your favourite package manager.



If lame will not install then

sudo aptitude install ubuntu-restricted-extras or sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras


peace, mark

Did you install
libk3b3-extracodecs
in Synaptic Package Manager

[luke0927]

Yes that one is installed but not the libk3b2-exrtacodecs

[luke0927]

bump any idea's or another good burnning program to use.

Are you sure you have libk3b2-exrtacodecs installed? I had the same issue as you and installed libk3b2-exrtacodecs (and k3b-i18n, but I doubt that has anything to do with this issue) and can k3b accepts mp3s.

I've got the same problem and I tried to find that package but synaptic says: the is nothing like that in the software sources. using karmic koala.

[xc3RnbFO8P]

In Karmic Koala it is libk3b6-extracodec
