Can't listen to mp3 files

[leonardevens]

I am running Fedora 17.

I think I added all the relevant softwarre sources such as RPMFusion. But I can't listen to mp3 files
with any of my audio programs. I keep getting an error message about a missing mpeg-1 level 3 (mp3) decoder plugin being needed. I think I dded all the plugins I could find. I used the Personal Fedora 17 web page, which has always worked for me in the past.

Any suggestions for what to do?

click the Fedora setup guides link at the top of the page ... install autoplus then using autoplus you can install all the codecs

What program(s) are the plugins for?
What program are you using?
Did you read the fine print at RPMFusion site?

Details, details, and more details.

I can't listen to mp3 files using the movie player or rhythmbox. It turns out that I can listen to them using audacious.

Odd, mplayer always works for me (though you don't specify which movie player you're using.)

Well, just to make sure - you have gstreamer-plugins-bad installed?

Try this

rm -rf ~/.gstreamer-0.10

Now restart totem/rhythmbox.

I think OP is referring to totem and not mplayer (or did I not understand your statement right?)

The OP said movie player, and I too think they mean totem. I don't know if totem is supposed to play music--the one or two times I've used it, I found it problematic so replaced it with either mplayer or vlc.

You can download (free) Fluendo's mp3 decoder. Easy to install, and I have had no issues with mp3 playback (with different music players) on F16

Totem does, normally at least, play music. In Fedora menus it is termed "Movie Player".

Ummm.., details as pointed out earlier. If I assume he's done as suggested, then I suspect we're looking at a KDE application relying on xine's libraries. But DM's autoplus normally grabs it. So...?

From a terminal, paste the output of

rpm -qa gstreamer*
rpm -qa xine*
