Repositories/Packman

From openSUSE-Community

[edit] Packman Software Repositories

Packman is the most popular third-party repository available for openSUSE. It contains many packages that aren't in the openSUSE version; either because they cannot be included for legal reasons, because the distribution contains an older version, or simply because it was never packaged for the distribution release.

This is the repository where you can acquire the relevant mp3 and windows codecs.
