Without being able to tell you reasons why (I just know they work for me), I have these yast installation sources set up (in addition to DVD etc):
http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/packman/suse/10.2/ http://packman.iu-bremen.de/suse/10.2 ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-guru/rpm/10.2 I believe you will need w32codec-all and lame added via software management too. If I recall correctly, last time I had issues getting amarok to go, I removed it then put back on again. This page may also be useful: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/MP3_on_SUSE_Linux_10.2 which states you also need libxine1 and amarok-xine. While some of this may be contradictory or duplications or unnecessary (I'm not sure which bits) this is how I eventually / blindly managed to get there. The ultimate destination is worth the effort, amarok is the total music tool in my opinion. Roger
