That's right. The original amarok package supports mp3 by using libmad but the amarok included in SL 10.0 cannot use libmad due to legal reasons (no contracts with Thomson and others). So it uses the helix framework of the Realplayer to decode mp3 (possible because of agreements with RealNetworks). -- Dr. Martin Sommer Product Manager Consumer Products SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstraße 5, D-90409 Nürnberg Phone: +49 (0) 911 740 530 Fax: +49 (0) 911 740 53 575 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------
