What players do you have installed?? Most distros shy away from playing
mp3's over some patent dispute, so your install of SuSe will need the
made-free libs from someplace like mplayer. Just google for their site.
Get the codec file and you'll want it install it to :
/usr/lib/win32 and I also have /usr/lib/codecs linked to /usr/lib/win32
just for insurance. Without these codecs you will not be able to
use/play mp3 files.
