Affects: amarok (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
Kubuntu Dapper Flight5 - Up2Date

I haven't installed any mp3 support yet but AmaroK is listing and
playing them (no sound, no duration, but NO ERROR). Listing is not a big
problem, but trying to play is.

Test case :
As I tried to play an album (I did not remember it was in MP3), AmaroK began to switch from one file to another without any prompting nor error. I had random and repeat activated, so my system was beginning to freeze as switching became faster. [Ctrl]-[Alt]-[Esc] gave me killer-cursor to kill it.

So AmaroK should really give an error (at least at first try or with
checkbox « Don't rembember me it ») explaining the reason that file is
not playing.
