k3b - unsupported format

[gary]

howdy - I ripped a cd to an mp3 file using sound-juicer. Now I am 
attempting to burn the file to a cd using k3b. Unfortunately I keep 
getting this message = Unable to handle the following files due to an
unsupported format:  I have reinstalled both k3b and k3b-mp3 with no 
change. I have been using k3b since fc1 was released, with few problems.
Ideas ?    --gary

If you installed k3b-mp3, the problem should have been
taken care of.  Unless k3b defaulted back to its
original state, which does not support mp3 format.  
Did you 
#yum update k3b k3b-mp3  ?

Is k3b fully updated?
12.10 or so?

Otherwise, the other advice I can give you is to use a
script to change to *.wav format and retry your burn
using k3b.  Burning wav to cd should be no problem. 
Grab one script from

The scripts look interesting, but my issue is trying to get k3b to burn
an mp3 file.
 Another possibility I suppose is that sound-juicer didn't properly
create an mp3 file,
but all the files have .mp3 tags.      Thanks   ----gary

At the time I used sound-juicer to rip my mp3 files. Apparently k3b was
unable to recognize my sound-juicer ripped files as mp3. In the interim
I've used k3b to rip mp3 files and everything is burned without error,
so I suspect sound-juicer as the problem.

livna now provides k3b-extras-nonfree that includes mp3 support.

In fact, I just installed the dependencies to burn mp3 files to a
disk.  Go to a command line and type "yum -y install k3b-mp3" (without
the quotes).  It should install everything you need. Then you be able to
burn these files to a disk.
