Q: Make fails with the message "qlineedit.h - no such file or
   directory"--what's the problem?
   
A: You are using a rather old version of QT.  You need at least QT
   version 1.40.  You can get a new version at www.troll.no.


Q: Make fails, saying something like "kfilefilter.h - file not found",
   what to do now?
   
A: This file was not included as part of the complete KDE installation.
   The file should be located in kdelibs/kfile source.  Please copy it
   to your KDE include dir.  The next version of KDE will install this
   file correctly.  You can also get this file from the kmp3 web site,
   at http://elon05.mfh-iserlohn.de/Pollmeier/kmp3/ .  If that site
   does not work, try http://perso.wanadoo.fr/smf/kmp3/ .


Q: OK.  I compiled the player without any errors.  Now, when I start kmp3,
   it shows the message "no socket communication", and I don't hear any
   sound.
   
A: This problem could occur if you are using SunOS/Solaris--support has
   not been added for this platform.   You also may have missed the
   'make install' step.  Kmp3 displays this message if it can't find
   kmp3player, which should have been created in the amp directory.  
   kmp3player must be in your path.


Q: Well - Im not using Solaris/SunOS, kmp3player is in the path. Is there
   something I can do if theres still no sound?

A: Yes. Get a version of mpg123. Kmp3 can handle this player too. Just compile
   your mpg123 pagage with make linux-sajber and install sajberplay in your
   path. Then you must tell kmp3 to use sajberplay, not kmp3player. You can do
   this by setting the enviroment variable KMP3PLAYER to sajberplay. In my case
   Ive to type export KMP3PLAYER=sajberplay. Starting kmp3 next time will
   hopefully be with sound ;-)
 
   
Q: Can I play mp3's from the command line?

A: Sure.  Just run 'kmp3 song1.mp3 ... songN.mp3' or 'kmp3 *.mp3'.  You
   can specify m3u playlist files on the command line too.  Add some
   mimelinks and you will be able to play mp3's and m3u's by clicking on
   them in kfm or dragging them onto the kmp3 window.


Q: I want to see all of the kmp3 messages in my native language.  How
   can I do this?
   
A: Very easy:  copy the file 'kmp3/po/de/kmp3.po' to a new file and
   replace the German strings in the 'msgstr' fields with your own
   language's strings.  Then send the new file to:
   Cajus.Pollmeier@mfh-iserlohn.de .
