[ubuntu-uk] nice article on Amarok - caviat about ubuntu

[Scrase, Eddie]

As I understand it, ripping is done via the Konquorer's KIO-slave, and
should be totally independent of the sound engine amaroK is using.

Unfortunately I'm run amaroK on Ubuntu 6.10, so I can't verify the problem.

My first thought at this point is "restricted formats".

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok

"AmaroK uses either the xine or gstreamer multimedia frameworks as its
sound engine. The RestrictedFormats wiki page has more on how to
configure either framework and how to add support for non-free media
formats such as mp3."

Could that be the problem?

Cheers,
Al.
