I cranked up k3b, converted them to mp3 format, they play back just fine with mplayer, but k3b claims that they are now unsupported formats, after it did such a great job of converting them to mp3. What gives? I'm trying to make a CD for my traveling enjoyment and what it converted it cannot use???? Man, I'm confused here. The only format my car stereo will accept is MP3, right?? Or, am I in need of some education here. Thank you for your help.
