Using MusicBrainz with mp3s
By default, using the "Fill-In Tags Using Music'Brainz" with an mp3 reports this error: ".mp3 is not a supported filetype".
To rectify this:
- Install the codec for playing mp3s (see UbuntuHelp:RestrictedFormats)
- Recompile libtunepimp
mkdir libtunepimp cd lintunepimp apt-get source libtunepimp cd libtunepimp* fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage
- Use deb-reversion from the devscripts package to prevent automatic upgrade
sudo apt-get install devscripts cd .. deb-reversion libtunepimp2c2a_*.deb
- Save and close the changelog in the editor that is launched by pressing Ctrl + O, Enter, then Ctrl +X .
- Install the new version of libtunepimp
sudo dpkg -i libtunepimp*local.1*.deb
