(SOLVED) Problems with MP3 files

Hi,

I'm new in the Linux world and I just removed Windows to start using something new/different/better, Zorin OS.

The problem is I cannot play MP3 files and I do not understand why. I installed ubuntu restricted extras, but still cannot. When I click on a MP3 file, it simply do not start.

Hi cata and welcome to Zorin!

For now, install VLC and all its dependencies (this usually will include audio codecs) and let us know if things improve.

I would do this via 'synaptic package manager' (Menu | System Tools | Administration | Synaptic Package Manager).

In the search box, enter 'vlc' and mark all packages that are related for installation - alternatively, if you prefer, enter vlc in the Sofware Center and install from there.

After installing - open terminal (Ctrl+ Alt+ T) and enter:

Code:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Hi,

try installing the following MP3 players via this terminal command, or you can use Synaptic or Ubuntu Software Center:

Code:

sudo apt-get install audacious clementine

Let us know if this helps.

Regards Wolfman

Thank you.

Now it works.
