[Fedora-marketing-list] idea on explaining the mp3 question
Hi,
I know this is an overly-discussed issue, but since I get so many
questions on it I wanted to run this idea past everyone.
A common complaint I hear is that people think Fedora is "broken" when
it doesn't play MP3s. This leads to mailing list and forum traffic,
negative word-of-mouth exposure, and needless confusion.
I think the problem is that when you try to play an MP3 file... nothing
happens at all or you get an ugly codec message -- both of these indeed
seem to indicate something is broken. Why not have a pop up that
explains why Fedora doesn't play MP3s and give a link to the wiki where
it is explained in further detail?
I could file an RFE on this.... I think it would cut down on the
confusion. Has this been previously discussed? Thoughts?
