Can't play mp3 with sonata?

Hi,
Just installed Sonata om ny new fresh Arch installation.
Alsa is configured and I can play the sound test aplay ....wav files...
But now when im in X I started sonata and I cant ge the application to play my mp3 files?
I can't even see them?
And if I browse with Thunar and try run a file using sonata nothing happends...
So how do I get sonata so show my files, I need a guideanse of that application, and second do one have to config anymore to play mp3 in x?

Sonata is a python-based interface to MPD. Either install and setup MPD(Music Player Daemon), or use another player(Totem?)
EDIT: Have fun learning how to use Archlinux, you already learned one thing! Don't give up now.

Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

Can you play Diablo with the PC disk or is there a separate disk just for Mac?

Hi DJNIKKo,
I have the Diablo III install DVD - it's both Mac & PC install.
But warning - many players (on a PC board) dislike the game & stopped playing it already...
I played thru all the chars on 'normal' and started playing the 2nd difficulty, but running away (=being chased) by enemies is NOT my style of playing a game...
Check some youTube videos & see if that's what you want to do...
The ratio of hit points (HP) for enemies is:
1. normal - 20 HP
2.nightmare - 6000 HP
3.**** - 150 000 HP
4.inferno - 1 000 000 HP
This is for the same enemy...
(I have the Diablo 3 walkthru guide).
So this game is't for me...

Clementine can't play files with special characters

I saw Clementine can't play some mp3 files - it would just say "error loading file".
So I opened an mp3 from the terminal and found out that the problem was the characters in the file name.
For example, it wouldn't play "Schiller - Tired (mit Jaël).mp3" but works fine with "Schiller - Tired (mit Jael)"
Any ideas why?

Well...

Can't play music in Sonata 2011 after ios6

I have an iPhone 4 (not 4s) and after upgrading to ios6, I can't play music in my Hyundai Sonata. As always, I connect my phone to the Sonata using the manufacturers supplied cable. The car will begin to read it, but will eventually just stop reading and revert to whatever media was playing before or to the radio. The iPhone is left in an odd state where the Music app will just cycle through my albums until I shut the unit down and restart it. I tried using an Apple iPhone USB cable, but that generates a "Connection Error" right away. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a solution?
Thanks

Sorry to take so long to reply, but I figured out the problem. Apparently, if you select a song to play on the iPhone, and the song is not available, the Music app will cycle through your music, until it finds a song that is actually on the iPhone. I believe this is a change with iOS6. Its my wife's car and I don't drive it that often, so there was a lag between installing iOS6, clearing space on the device and actually trying to use it in the car. Now to be clear, not all of my music was missing, just most of them and while troubleshooting the problem I actually played a couple of songs on the device to make sure nothing was wrong with the iPhone. As luck would have it, I selected two of the songs that were still on the device, so I neglected to consider my space clearing. I google'd my question and after much filtering, found the answer.
Apple should fix this such that at least one of two things happen in this situation:
1) The iPhone tells you that the song is not on the device.
2) The iPhone does not list songs, playlists, artists, etc. that are not actually there.
Although both of these fall into the 'duh' category, the second one makes the most sense as I would have seen right away that my music was gone.
Anyway, thanks for the reply. It made me look deeper.

[solved] I can't play MP3 files in JuK

Hi
When i try play a mp3 file, with juk, the system says this:
[zuargo@zuargo-archlinux ~]$ juk
[zuargo@zuargo-archlinux ~]$ xine is asking to seek behind the end of the data stream
I have installed xine-phonon and it is uses default.
I have tried installing gstreamer phonon (with all official of the repository plugins) but I have the same problem... I can't hear anything...
I have tried installing pulseaudio but... nothing...
I have tried installing oss but.... nothing
I have tried erasing the file ~.xine/catalog.cache but... nothing...
some web pages says solved it issue installing a package called libxine-ffmep but it is not in pacman...
really I tried many options but I can't solved this problem
of course, I can play mp3 files in the command line (throughout mpg123) and they sound good...
sorry for my bad english I speak spanish

from everything i'm reading, it seems like that error message is normally associated with xine-ffmpeg being missing...
phonon-xine depends on xine-lib which depends on ffmpeg, but its probably worth checking to make sure they are installed.
I have installed xine-lib

I have used the gstreamer backend and it not works... I can't hear the mp3 files...
another idea?

Can't play mp3 file through RTP

I created an server/client application to play remote file through RTP using JMF. However, it works with *.wav and video track of mpg file only, can't work when playing *.mp3 and audio track of mpg file. Do anyone know the reason?

No any errors.
I just follow the code sample "AVTransmit2" & "AVReceive2" and change the format.
I change the format of mpg file audio stream to G723, it works now! So I think I used wrong format, but I found there is only two supported RTP format for mp3 file and it doesn't work for both of them.

Can't play MP3's from Finder without Quick Look

Not really expecting any relevant answers but I might as well try I guess.
Ok, before:
__ .mp3
Center of this icon had a play button, and it was possible to minimize the window while the song played.
No need for Quick Look or a media player.
Now:
Quick look works.
But as I mentioned, I can't just click a play button in a finder window, as in here with my mouse hovered over the bottom icon.
I don't understand why the icons are different or how to fix this.

Ignore the first two, long story. Anyway:
THEN:
• Icon had a center Play button.
• Could play mp3's inside a miminize-able Finder window.
• No need for media player or Quick Look.
NOW:
Those luxuries are now gone.
Also, Get info shows both icons..
Mp3's play from here, but unlike Finder, there's no Quick Look to track songs when necessary.
• This is an external drive.
• Permissions are fine.
• I always browse in icon view.
• Opening with QuickTime / VLC does not help.
I just want to know a fix without a 3rd party or Terminal.
This happened before and went away.

Media Player - can't play MP3 files

I'm have trouble playing my MP3 files on Q10. (Car doesn't support Bluetooth music - only voice commands, hands free calling).
My MP3 files are stored on micro 8gb card - when connecting USB cable phone tells me it "can't connect to my computer(?)"
The USB connection DID work when I realised my 'Phone book was empty'. On voice commanding the settings to install Phone book (which it did) I am back to the 'unable to connect to computer ' message. Are these two events linked?
What's going on?!
My old Blackberry Torch with card only (No SIM - 'cos it's in my new phone) plays MP3 files fine - but I want my Q10 to play the files.
Help?

Thank you for your answer. My problem is with a direct link, [http://www.vocacionpasionista.com/Novedades/Un%20deseo%20de%20paz.mp3 this one] .
The data URI seemed to work but just while it's loading, when the page loads the player disappears.
The direct link doesn't work at all, just like with mine, that window pops up.

Can't Play DVD (with VLC, Totem, Xine, MPlayer), But Works in Windows

I have a DVD that I can't play for the life of me in Arch. I've tried VLC, Totem, Xine, and MPlayer. And I do have libdvdcss installed. Other DVDs work fine.
With VLC the DVD menu comes up, but when I hit play I get choppy sound and no picture. And I get these errors:
[0x7f91f4000c18] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called

[0x15c0a08] libmpeg2 decoder error: invalid picture encountered
With Totem I get the DVD menu and when I hit play it just freezes.
With Gxine I just get a popup window that says "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" (but again I do have libdvdcss, libdvdread, and libdvdnav installed). In the terminal Gxine reports it's using libdvdcss to get the encryption keys and it appears to all go fine, but then I get the "Media stream scrambled/encrypted" popup window.
Mplayer plays the the DVD but the image is scrambled and the sound is a little choppy.
On the other hand, in Windows, on the same computer, the DVD plays fine with an older version of VLC (0.8.6d) and with Media Player Classic with the K-Lite Codec Pack.
I'm especially baffled that VLC does it in Windows, but not in Arch (nor in Debian).
Any thoughts? Thanks.

That's interesting. I didn't realize it was all css. But how does that explain in this case the DVD did work with free players in Windows. As I said, both with Media Player Classic with the K-Lite codec pack and with an older version of VLC (0.8.6d)? Thanks.
That is very possible. All those players use (or can use) direct show. As soon as you have the needed filter installed by SOME software all those players will be able to make use of it. And i think Vista even had dvd filters pre-installed.
Btw. One of the more common protections on dvds is called arcos and is developed by Sony. Google for it

How can I play along with a MIDI sequence in Mainstage?

Hi folks,
I have some live performances where I would like to play along with MIDI sequences. I've been using Mainstage and software instruments, but can't for the life of me figure out how do play along with MIDI sequences. There's a nice plugin (whose name escapes me at the moment) that lets you play along with looped audio tracks....but a MIDI file would be better for my purposes. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
-Mike Kaplan

Hi
Not directly within Mainstage.... there could be workarounds using 3rd party applications slaved to MS, but it would be a complete pita (compared to working with scripts to iTunes Playlists or just bouncing the MIDI files to audio).

There no any setting on AirPort utility. What should I do? Whats wrong?

Playing mp3s with out installing softw

I would like to play mp3s at work. Unfortunately, I can't install any software on the work's computer. Is there any way of accessing the music files without installing any software? I know I could put them on the removable disc portion, but that would mean duplicating everything and take up unnessessary space, so if I could avoid doing that, all the better.

If you can install drivers then yes you could access your songs without installing any of the Creative software. Just plug it in and it should automatically install the necessary drivers. Then you can browse your songs in Windows Explorer. Sometimes though, those drivers are blocked from being installed, so your other option is to use the removable disk option and just transfer songs onto there.

Can not play podcast with voice control command

Is there any way to play a podcast with voice commands? I've been trying everything, "Play podcast Science Friday", "Play NPR Science Friday", "Play This American Life". I'm pretty sure Apple left this feature out. I thought they would have fixed it by iOS4. It's nice they added, "What time is it?" but I think this would be more useful. While I'm driving, sometimes I like to listen to music, sometimes I like to listen to podcasts.
I'm surprised more people haven't complained about this. Can we please elevate this to a bug/feature request?
Thanks

I've always had this problem, where "play" and "pause" does not work with podcasts through voice commands, which is rather dangerous when I'm driving and have to fumble with the touchscreen while using an A2DP headset. I don't usually have any music loaded, since I prefer listening to podcasts, Pandora or FM radio. Yesterday, I synced ONE song onto my iPhone, and suddenly it works with podcasts. I then removed it and it stopped working again. Apparently, if there is no music iPhone thinks that there is nothing to play, even if there are podcasts, which is a pretty stupid BUG. I still have not been able to play artists or titles, but now I can say "play playlist <list-name>" or "play" to resume a podcast that is paused.
Of course, no matter what I say, half the time it dials a random number from my contacts!
