My Question or Issue

[waynelloydsmith]

installed http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify/spotify-client-0.9.17_0.9.17.8.gd06432d.31-1_a... on my linux system

then

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/seamonkey/libnss3.so /usr/lib64/libnss3.so.1d
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/seamonkey/libnssutil3.so /usr/lib64/libnssutil3.so.1d
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/seamonkey/libsmime3.so /usr/lib64/libsmime3.so.1d
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/seamonkey/libplc4.so /usr/lib64/libplc4.so.0d
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/seamonkey/libnspr4.so /usr/lib64/libnspr4.so.0d

then installed ORBit2,GConf and libgcrypt

Everything works except I cannot play my local mp3 files.

The error I get on the console is:

I have a library of over 3000 mp3 tunes that I created from my own albums .

Some are 78's from 1915 . Took me 3 months to do it.

These mp3's play on everything but spotify ?

Any ideas ?
