However, i can't select MP3, OGG or AAC codec in the list, since they are described as "not currently available on your system". FFmpeg and lame are installed. I've just had a look into the source code of amarok and it seems that it uses the output of the command "ffmpeg -codecs" to check if the encoder is installed. For mp3, a function looks for a line with ".EA... libmp3lame" in this output (found it in the file TranscodingMp3Format.cpp). In my output of ffmpeg -codecs, i don't have this line but : DEA.L. mp3 MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3) (decoders: mp3 mp3float ) (encoders: libmp3lame ) Amarok doesn't exactly find ".EA... libmp3lame" so it must expect libmp3lame is not installed. However, i'm quite sure it is installed as i can convert files to mp3 format with ffmpeg command. I guess it might be due to a change in ffmpeg -codecs output, maybe an update of ffmpeg to clear this output by grouping encoders and decoders of a same codec in a same line. I've seen other outputs of ffmpeg -codecs on the web with older versions of ffmpeg and they indeed have a line for the encoder : libmp3lame and another line for the decoder : mp3. I notice the same things with Vorbis codec (libvorbis and vorbis grouped). Flac, Apple Lossless and WMA work fine, because the output is the same in ffmpeg -codecs than the one expected by amarok. Does anybody can reproduce this, or did I forgot to do something in order to make it work ? Thanks to the Amarok team for offering us such an amazing software :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Select a song in left media panel. 2.Right click and Organize Files 3.MP3, AAC and OGG are "not currently available on your system" Actual Results: Impossible to convert files in MP3 or OGG formats Archlinux Kernel 3.6.8-1 x86_64 ffmpeg version 1.0 amarok version 2.6.0 Lame 3.99. 1321562 1 matej 2012-12-06 10:06:26 +0000 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 309454 ***
