My collection is mostly .ogg, but the older CDs were ripped in mp3
format.  While I intend to someday re-rip those CDs, I do actually want
to *listen* to them in the meantime. I suppose it's only right for
gNewSense to stop supporting .mp3 altogether, but I'll need to use
another distro until I get around to the task.
