How does one play MP3's in KDE4? juk/dragon both seem able to recognize .mp3 and get the song length, but when I try to play one, it just flickers and acts like it finished instantly (output below). Maybe I am missing the right package to decode mp3? And yes, I know the ethics of MP3 suck, but unfortunately my car groks MP3 and WMA... guess which I prefer :P.
