It's fixed in 3.0.4-1 or newer. You will find in the next rawhide release. Many thanks for your bug report. Nope - that's not true - I updated to the latest and it brings the mp3 player thingmie into the file manager, but will not play audio files that are not embedded into an application. The problem is that the support of mp3 format has been removed in RHL 8.0 (license issue). Please read the RHL 8.0 README in the Handbook. Well if I could find it I would read it... what do you mean mp3 format has been removed??? You remove the most widely used audio file format from the latest version of the OS?!? What is the sense in this? It defeats the purpose of having RHL as an alternative OS if it is so second rate when it comes to every day things... As an aside - no audio file will play - wav, au, aiff, mp3, etc. What is the resolution to this severe oversight??? I mean, the support of MPEG audio file (mp3) has been removed in 8.0. There is no media player in the 8.0 which can play mp3 file! I'm very unhappy with this issue, but we have to move it because of mp3 license. The audio file wav, au, ogg are supported in 8.0. |
