Is there any package that I need to install?
As far as I know, the standard way of playing MP3s involves the xine engine (libxine1), which in itself relies on libmad0 to decode the MP3 stream. Check if the upgrade involved the libxine* or the libmad0 packages. You can find this information in /var/log/aptitude (if you use aptitude) or in /var/log/dpkg.log. (The aptitude log is easier to read.) If any packages were upgraded, try to downgrade them again to the previous version (which might still be in your /var/cache/apt/archives/ directory). > I am using Debian Lenny. Check the output of: xine --list-plugins=demux This should tell you if xine really does not know how to play any MP3s anymore or if it just does not recognize your particular file(s) as MP3. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
