[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 744016] Re: Can't import CD as MP3 in Natty

[Stephen Rees-Carter]

On my home computer (I am at work so I can't check now), it has the Ogg,
FLAC, and Wav options, but _no_ MP3 option. This is my point.

Obviously I am missing a package or something which you have installed
to enable MP3. Since my desktop was a standard install with the "non-
free software" enabled, but no extra stuff (like restricted-extras), I
don't have the option for MP3 which you do.

I can take a screen shot tonight to show you if you like?

It is a real issue because if people have a requirement to use MP3,
which is basically the standard for the average user, and find they
can't use it, then they will find another non-banshee (and maybe even
non-ubuntu) solution.

Title:
  Can't import CD as MP3 in Natty

Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  Under 10.10 I am able to go into Banshee preferences and set the
  Import CD format as MP3. However, this option is not available within
  Natty.

  Since I need to import my (and my wife's) cd's into a format which is
  readable on the various computers and devices we use, MP3 is a
  requirement. It would be the same for a lot of new converts...

  There is probably a package to be installed, but if MP3's can play "out of the box", then why can't they be imported as well?
  At the very least a pop-up message advising what needs to be installed would be helpful.
