MP3 Being annoying in Linux

Whenever I try to import an MP3 file into a Scratch project, it either tells me that it's in a "bad format" or it imports it, but the audio has tons of skips. I use LAME as far as I know, and I run Kubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Re: MP3 Being annoying in Linux

Unfortunately this is currently a problem with Scratch on all OS's. You may be better off using WAV's if you can; those work much more consistently.

Re: MP3 Being annoying in Linux

Are you using it under WINE, or the native Linux version? It's far less glitchy under WINE, for me - though I do have problems with MIDI, might be a problem with audio overall.  hmm  I run Ubuntu 12.10.

Re: MP3 Being annoying in Linux

MP3 works always on my Mac, though I remember having problems on my PC.

Try using .wav format. That always works. You can use Audacity to convert the audio file.
