Hints and Tips

• Customize KDE applications' appearance via kcontrol

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". (In Ubuntu 7.04' «Feisty Fawn» you can install libtunepimp5-mp3 package to solve the problem.)

To rectify this:

• Install the codec for playing mp3s (see UbuntuHelp:RestrictedFormats)
• Recompile libtunepimp

mkdir libtunepimp
cd libtunepimp
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
