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

[Stephen Rees-Carter]

That's done the trick, thank you :)

Is there a reason why this isn't installed by default when you tick the "Install non-free software" checkbox in the installer?
It seems like a major omission from the list, if MP3 is supported for everything else.

If this isn't the place to ask this sort of question, where should ask
instead?

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.
