Really? I have only mp3's, I'll have to get some of those and test it.

Rediscover your music with Amarok! Now on Puppy Linux too!

Thanks for testing ppl, still haven't tried that flac files, I'm glad you enjoy!

playdayz, just tried playing flac file, it works, can you check if you have libflac installed?
It should be in /usr/lib/libFLAC.so.xxx
Which puppy version do you use?

gerryggg & dejan55, thanks for testing. The problem is with me. I am using NewYearsPup which works great for me in most circumstances but it does not seem to have libxine and possibly others; so I will have to do some configuration to take advantage of Amarok--I'll let you know if I get it working right. thanks again for preparing it.

Ah it must be missing libraries then, try installing libogg and flac:
libogg-1.1.3.pet
flac-1.2.1.pet

I just downloaded the Amarok_410.sfs-file. Placed it where my other sfs-file are, OpenOffice and K3b!

But when I go to the Bootmanager and choose which sfs-files that will be loaded at startup, I can't see the Amarok-file! Why?

thoase, try renaming it to match your puppy version, e.g. Amarok_420.sfs if you use puppy 4.2. I don't really use sfs's much so maybe someone else will know different solution.

I have Amarok not working for another reason. When I click on the SFS

and then open

/mnt/+mnt+sdc1+Rene+Software+PuppyLinux+SFS+amarok_410.sfs/usr/bin/amarok

I get this msg:

Amarok could not be started!
This may be because the amarokapp binary is not in your PATH
Try locating and running amarokapp from a terminal

...but when I do run the app from the terminal the same msg comes up.

What can I do to make it run now?

Dromeno, you can't just mount SFS, if you have frugal install copy SFS to /mnt/home then reboot and it should be loaded, also rename it to match your puppy version (if you use puppy4.2 rename to amarok_420.sfs), if you have full hd install, you'll have to copy files from sfs to your system. Post your puppy version and installation type, then we'll see...

I am using the acer-puppy-410-27.iso, I created a bootable thumbbdrive (Corsair Nano 4GB) with the Windows version of Unetbootin.

I put the Amarok.sfs in the root of the thumbdrive, renamed it to Amarok_410.sfs

then booted from the thumbdrive. MSI machine, AsusEEE machine, Belinea machine.

All produce the same error msg - Amarok not in my PATH.

so what should the next step be?

OK, but you don't click on SFS to mount it, put it in /mnt/home and then after reboot just type amarok in terminal, do not go to /mnt/whatever to run it

OK, I am one step further. Amarok does try to start now but I get a whole lot of error msgs (see attached screenshot).
