Hi every one,
Before I put forward my opinion I have to introduce my self. My name is
Sreenivas. I live in Hyderabad, India. I signed up in Ambassador list
hoping I'd start my contributions with shipping Fedora core media.
My two cents about MP3, as Sam suggested it seems to be a good idea to
pop-up a window and tell the user why MP3 is not supported. It will be
useful to point to help on how MP3 files can be converted to other
supported formats in Fedora and any advantages, etc..
Is it possible to offer to convert from MP3 format to ogg by using some
available tools when the user tries to play mp3? I am not knowledgeble
about if there are patent issues involved in using MP3 to ogg format
conversion.
Yes. We would need to include a decoder to do that which isnt kosher.
Moreover converting from one lossy format to another such as MP3 to OGG
conversions usually results in low quality audio.
