The cause turned out to be missing MP3 support "out of the box" in my distro (Ubuntu). Try checking that your mp3s will play in some other program. If they won't then you need to (re)install the codec.

"There are two theories to arguing with women. Neither one works." . If men could get pregnant, we'd learn the true meaning of "screaming nancyboy wuss"

Do I need to add an extra repository? Or is there some other location that I need to get it from? Please Help!!!
