(k)Ubuntu - enabling MP3 playback in Amarok

Crack open a terminal window and type (or copy and paste - but remember that Paste in a terminal window is Shift+Insert)

sudo /usr/lib/amarok/install-mp3

You will be prompted for a password - this is because 'sudo' means 'run this with root privelege' which means you must provide your root password (usually the same as your login password). Let apt do its thing - you may well see lots of errors, but eventually you will see a pop-up window doing a batch download.

Once that is finished you should be prompted that MP3 support is installed.

Restart Amarok and enjoy your choons!
