I created a new audio CD project in K3B and tried to add an MP3 file to it, when the following error dialog appears: Problems while adding files to the project. Unable to handle the following files due to an unsupported format: You may manually convert these audio files to wave using another application supporting the audio format and then add the wave files to the K3b project. /home/xxx/audio/xxx/xxx.mp3 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open K3B 2. Create New Audio CD project 3. Add MP3-File to it Actual Results: An error dialog appears, the file is not added Expected Results: The file is added to the project, will later be written to the CD and plays on a CD player.

And since when an AudioCD could contain mp3 files ?
Well, my first reaction to the problem was of course googling for it, and it didn't take a minute to find out that the problem was well-known, even though most bug-reports had been submitted in 2004 and 2005; most of the answers suggested a missing module (libk3b-mp3) [different distros had different solutions though]. So I never questionned the fact that maybe an audio CD would not contain MP3 files altogether. Only after your question did I refine my search and find out that you can only write WAV files on an audio disk. Still: why was there once a solution to adding MP3-files to an audio project (even if the solution was to have a library that converted the MP3s to WAVs behind the curtain), which has now disappeared? Wouldn't it make sense to support this solution, because sound files I can buy e.g. at Amazon, already are MP3s? I set the bug to RESOLVED/OBSOLETE, because obviously all I need to do is convert the files to add to the audio project to the WAV format first. If you however share my oppinion that having a K3B built-in solution for the MP3>WAV conversion would make a valuable addition, you already have a case you can simply reopen.
