Amarok or Rythmbox

I want to install a music player that supports LastFM scrobbling.

Has anyone successfully installed Amarok or Rythmbox ? I see that there are packages available in the Package Manager but I am not really sure which ones I need.

 

Hello,

Amarok works fine on the Aspire One, but Rhythmbox can't be installed because of dependencies problems. :roll:

 

Thanks for the response.

Do you know which of the Amarok Fedora 8 packages I should install ? There is a version 1.4.7-7 "Media Player for KDE" and a version 1.4.9.1-3 "Media Player".

 

The version I installed is the 1.4.9.1
Don't forget to install the amarok "extra non-free" package, for full support of audio and stream formats.

 

Ok. Thanks again.

 

Did you guys get the additional codecs working?

I upgraded mplayer and installed the additional codecs to "/usr/lib/codecs" but amarok can not seem to find them ... any idea??
(I did not install any additional xine packages (except for the decencies of amarok of course)

thanks

 

I am only using Amarok for mp3 audio so I can't really help.

 

Well, I've got Rhythmbox installed on the aa1 and it works like a charm.
I really like the Magnatune plugin.

Now only to get avahi-daemon to run on startup and I can connect to the firefly (daap) server I use for my Soundbridge 1001
(got it working but have to start avahi-daemon manually).

 

Nice!

well feel free to join the discussion on autostart http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=741&p=5534#p5534

I think I might have found a solution, I'll see that I have some time to test it and add it to the topic this evening... :idea:

 

Does anyone get a dependencies error when installing Amarok? It wont let me...

EDIT - OK, its randomly allowed me to install it, but the extras package in Pirut is marked as 1.4.8 and the version of Amarok is 1.4.7...?

 

I install Songbird on my AAO and i love it...

 

I might just do that Jango - did you just install from source and how much spac does it take please approx?

 

I successfully used "add/remove software" to install amarok - 1.4.9.1-3.fc8.i386 with no dependency issues.

 

Go to this link, and then you have to install extra package to play mp3
