Well i downloaded Amorak and it didnt work with my files. i mounted my drives so i can access them but amorak wont play any of my .mp3's. So... what should i do? uninstall and reinstall? could someone link me to a proper download for Ubuntu 7.04 version of amorak? and show me how to install it?

They're not allowed to distribute it with MP3 support for some reason.

Try this: MP3 support for amaroK | Ubuntu Linux

You nee to go into the package manager and install the GStreamer codecs.

gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg

Okay well amarok runs and it sees all the files but like when i go to play something it just says populating playlist 100% and gives me a little watch next to my mouse and never does anything... whats going on?

All is resolved now i have fixed the issue thanks for the help and thanks for recomending me to amarok Mak i like it alot.

is there anyway i can keep my drive mounted instead of having to go back and click on the drive to get it to mount? i mean its not a problem that i gota do that but im just curious.
