KDE doesn't play all mp3 files.
Hy,
i'm using kde3.3 from debian sid.
KDE has problems to play some of my mp3 files.
konqueror preview, kboodle, noatun, juk, amarok, artsplay have all the same problem. Programs which doesn't use arts like rhytmbox or xmms can play the mp3 files. Therefor i think the problem is arts.
The only program that gaves me an error message is amarok:
amarok: [engine] Playing: file.mp3
amarok: [void EngineController::slotMainTimer()] Idle detected. Skipping track.
amarok: [virtual void ArtsEngine::stop()]
Does someone else have the same problem with some mp3 files?
Is this a known bug, I couldn't find something in the kde bug tracking system?
Or is there a solution for this problem?
Thanks!

I'm not very familiar with debian packaging system but maybe they have separated arts in serveral packages to avoid mp3 license issues or something.
Fedora, for example, supports ogg but you can add extra packages to give mp3 support to the system.

No, mp3 support is installed.
This problem also occurred only by a few mp3 files. The most mp3 files were played without problems.
mp3 player which don't use arts, e.g. xmms with the alsa plugin or rhytmbox with the esd plays also the files which arts doesn't play.
So you're saying that *some* mp3s can be playedback by arts while some cannot?

yes this problem happens only by very few mp3 files.
arts plays 99% of my mp3 files but 4-5 files have this problem. But these 4-5 files were played by player which doesn't use arts.
I think this files maybe have some little failure which arts doesn't accept, but other sound-systems doesn't have problems with these files.

You may be close to hitting it right on with saying some files may have some failures.. I'm not so sure it's failure as much as it may be that arts and xmms are simply different programs. xmms may be able to read information contained in those particular mp3s that arts cannot. This might be a bug or a limitation of arts. I'm not sure I'm even close to being right but analyzing your problems I suspect something at least similar.
I can't really say nor compare because I use only xmms for my audio listening except for system notifications.
