Hi:
Recently in the OLPC Sur list has appeared a problem with Etoys. When updating the version of Sugar (with a new Etoys vertion) this has ceased to play mp3 files. This is confusing and frustrating for most teachers as having learned how to use successfully Etoys for to play mp3 files in the Sugar build 656.

Now the same procedure does not produce the same results, just obtain the error message:
Error: a primitive has failed Guardar / Abandonar / Depurar Ha ocurrido un error, lo más fácil ahora es abandonar. Lo sentimos!!
Si depuro: MPEGFile class(Object)>> error: MPEGFile class(Object)>> primitiveFailed MPEGFile class>>PrimFileValidMPEG MPEGFile class>>isFileValidMPEG
etc, etc...
Is there any way to restore this functionality in the new version?
Thanks in advance

Yes. MP3 is patented and must be licensed, that's why OLPC made us take out the support for this.

I thought that in the new OS version, mp3 playing would be handled not by Etoys but by a different activity. I copied some people who might know more about this on this message.
