Description Olivier Vitrat 2007-11-02 18:34:39 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.7)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=442412


When ripping an audio CD to mp3 files using lame, the encoding fails
with the following output:


  lame --preset standard --tt 'xyz' --ta 'blabla' --tl 'my audio cd' --ty '2003' --tn '01' --tg 'Unknown' '/tmp/kde-marcus/CZ5E6a.wav' 'track.mp3'


  Unknown genre: 'Unknown'.  Specify genre name or number

This happens if the genre is set to "unkown", but also if other genres
are selected (I got the same result with "Electronic").

I have lame 3.97-0.0 from www.debian-multimedia.org.

This just bit me again, Debian version 4:3.5.8-1.
