Installing Rhythmbox on my Fedora
Today, enspied by a posting in Peio’s blog (in Bulgarian) I decided to install Rhythmbox on my Fedora.
I want to mention here the problems, which I’ve gone through. Just
yum install rhythmbox
does not solve the case. I got really mad when having no MP3 files support. Actually, I became mad because I unable to understand for a long time that this was my problem when trying to open any MP3 file. I was getting this crazy message:
failed to create mad element; check your installation
when trying to open an MP3. I suspected the MP3 problem when I saw that my OGG files ran fine.
So, after some Google search, I found this great article, which showed me the exit of the tunnel.
In brief – if you want Rhythmbox and MP3 support, you should do:
yum install gstreamer-plugins-mp3 rhythmbox
Have fun!
