My _intended_ emal re: soundconverter anomolies

Paul,
I omitted to say that k3b gives me this error:
"Unable to handle the following files due to an unsupported format:
You may manually convert these audio files to wave using another
application supporting the audio format and then add the wave files to
the K3b project.
/home/david/Desktop/The Ultimate Collection/01 You're The First The Last
My Everything Barry White.mp3
..."

Hence soundconverter ...
