Bug Description

Binary package hint: listen

When attempting to add MP3 files to my library, I select the directory and/or files I would like to add and click 'OK', but nothing happens. I have also made a music folder in my home directory, added some MP3 audio files, and made it my default library location, yet the files still do not show up in the Listen application.

When attempting to launch an MP3 audio file from the command line, I receive the following:

No musicbrainz support (musicbrainz2 missing)
No iPod support
No Audio cd support (musicbrainz2 missing)
/usr/lib/listen/widget/tray.py:45: DeprecationWarning: the module egg.trayicon is deprecated; equivalent functionality can now be found in pygtk 2.10

Not a bug. You need either gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad or gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly.

Listen could warn you about that, but it's not a bug, it would be a feature ;)

I could reproduce here, and I think it's a locale problem.

Besides, I have both gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad and gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly installed

What locale do you have?
Does listen work if you launch it with this?
LC_ALL=C listen

it's ok if I run 'listen' without a music filename, but if I run 'listen -p xxx.mp3', I'll get the following message, regardless of 'LC_ALL=C"
