MP3 on raspberry pi

[GamingAleks]

So.. if I want to play music on the raspberry pi I just put mp3 files in the sd card and plug it in in the raspberry pi?

[RaTTuS]

yes -
well not just put it on the SD card as that will wire your OS [YMMV]
scp them across
NFS them across
put them on the 1st partition [limited space]

then issue the correct commands ,
are you using raspbian , xbmc , openelec or something else

[GamingAleks]

Well, I use raspian but.. what did you just say. I never programmed in my life.. I just started.

Enable the GUI via startx or the setting in raspi-config.

Open a terminal (LXTerminal) and type:

Code: Select all

suo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install vlc

Now you can use VLC to play back your MP3 files.

Copy your MP3 files onto the Pi from another computer. The easiest way is probably to use "sftp" on the command line, if the other computer is Linux. If the other computer is Windows, use an application like WinSCP.
