The problem is that rhythmbox will not be able to load mp3s into its
database if it is not built with id3lib, and according to the src.rpm
file I downloaded from download.fedora.redhat.com yesterday, it is not
built with id3lib and it is in the configure section of the spec file it
has --disable-mp3.
