poor mo3 support in rhythmbox

[Tuomo Sipola]

There exits a module music format ("tracker music") MO3. If I remember correctly, it is IT (Impulse Tracker) files with mp3 or ogg compression for the samples. Rhythmbox loads them but plays only the samples consequently very slowly. Either there should be proper mo3 support or .mo3-files should not be imported to the music library in Rhythmbox.

thanks for your report, Does they works fine with totem ? can you attach a sample file to test with?

I use totem-xine and it doesn't play the file, no plugin found to play that kind of file.

As far as I understand, the format is designed by http://www.un4seen.com/ . The library to play the files seems to be proprietary. More info on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MO3 and http://www.un4seen.com/mo3.html . Somebody has also specified the format unofficially http://lclevy.free.fr/mo3/ .

For example, Malekith (http://malekith.free.fr/) has released some tunes in MO3 format. One such file can be found in http://malekith.free.fr/Modules/cotrs.zip .
