Hints and Tips

• Customize KDE applications' appearance via kcontrol

  Using MusicBrainz with mp3s

  By default, using the "Fill-In Tags Using Music'Brainz" with an mp3 reports this error: ".mp3 is not a supported filetype". (In Ubuntu 7.04' «Feisty Fawn» you can install libtunepimp5-mp3 package to solve the problem.) To rectify this:

  • Install the codec for playing mp3s (see UbuntuHelp:RestrictedFormats)
  • Recompile libtunepimp

  mkdir libtunepimp
  cd libtunepimp
  apt-get source libtunepimp
  cd libtunepimp*
  fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage
  

  • Use deb-reversion from the devscripts package to prevent automatic upgrade

    sudo apt-get install devscripts
    cd ..
    deb-reversion libtunepimp2c2a_*.deb
    

    • Save and close the changelog in the editor that is launched by pressing Ctrl + O, Enter, then Ctrl +X .
    • Install the new version of libtunepimp

    sudo dpkg -i libtunepimp*local.1*.deb
