Bug Description
Binary package hint: amarok
After copying an mp3 to the local hard drive and either clicking its icon or loading it from Amarok's menu, I get the mp3 in my playlist, with track name etc.
It seems to play through the track very quickly (under 1 second) and then tell me the playlist is finished.
At no point do I get an error message.
If mp3s are not supported (e.g. patent reasons) this needs to made clear.
If they're supported, then any error needs to be picked up...

MP3s cannot be supported by default, as they are protected by patents. I believe a notification message is being worked on to inform users of the packages they need to install.
