I have a problem with amarok. It will not play mp3s but will play wavs and oggs. xmms and vlc play all the files. I have no clue why this is happening and any help will be appreciated.

What engine are you using. Check that your engine can play your files.

Check what use flags xine and xine-lib are compiled with.

mp3 need the mad useflag I think.
Code:

emerge -vp xine-lib

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
