Additional Comments

If morrowind is not able to play mp3 files you will need to recompile wine. This error is caused because you haven't compiled wine with libmpg123 support. This is confirmed with Ubuntu 9.10 and wine-1.1.35 To do this on Ubuntu 9.10 you first need install the library and development files(This should work on all distro's just install your distro's version of the package) sudo apt-get install libmpg123-0 libmpg123-dev after that download the wine source code and extract it open a terminal cd into the wine directory you just extracted. cd ~/wine-1.1.35 configure wine ./configure make the dependencies *****NOTE if using 64bit system there is a slight typo with the wine-1.1.35 sources you will get a error saying about mpegl3.o: IN function MPEG3_Reset to fix this open the file /wine-1.1.35/dlls/winemp3.acm/mpegl3.c then goto line 401 which looks like this mpg123_feedseek(aad->mh, 0, SEEK_SET, NULL); and change it to mpg123_feedseek_64(aad->mh, 0, SEEK_SET, NULL); this fix is only needed for 64bit systems as far as I can see Thanks to maaddog for this fix the original post for this fix can be found here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8285328 Now you can run make depends make depends compile wine now make Install wine sudo make install Now you can enjoy morrowind with out having to delete the mp3s
