I hadn't seen it before, but now that I have glanced at it, I don't
believe it has relevance for me as my system sounds work and until I
started trying to get .mp3 working, both Rythmbox, Goobox, etc. worked
fine, but could only rip .ogg files.

When I run Goobox from terminal, I get the following, unfortunately as
a newbie, It could just as easily be Greek:

$ goobox
$1 =
$1 =
$2 =
$3 =
$4 =

Rhythmbox is silent as the grave.

GNOME CD Player, likewise.

I have only heard positive things about both EasyUbuntu and Automatix,
but maybe only from people that haven't tried it themselves???

Cheers,
