mp3 support is orthogonal to CD text support, to create an audio CD
K3B needs to be able to convert the files to wav format, meaning if
you're using mp3 to create an audio CD then you need mp3 support to do
it. CD text is an option you can turn on when burning audio CDs
https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE_113/opensuse-apps/cha.k3b.html
a while since I've created one, I think it will probably automatically
read the metadata for you when you add a track, but you can set
whatever titles you want (within the length limits).
