Amarok cannot play mp3

If after you have installed media player amarok, and the player cannot play mp3 files, you have to install one more library: libxine-extracodecs

Run
-> sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs

or
use synaptic package manager to install the library

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done
    Package libxine-extracodecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    However the following packages replace it:
    libxine1-ffmpeg
    E: Package libxine-extracodecs has no installation candidate

    Playing mp3, wma and flac with Amarok works perfectly with the right backend and codecs.

    Just replace "libxine-extracodecs" with "libxine1-ffmpeg"

    so you should type

    sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg

    Yes I too found out that installing libxine-mmpeg was the way.
