 Thanks for your report.  I've got MP3s with ID3 version 2.2.0 tag (as
 reported by "file"), and they play fine with current versions of
 Rhythmbox + gstreamer.  Does this still happen for you?

 If it does, could you please try:
    gst-launch-0.8 gnomevfssrc location=/path/to/my/musicfile.mp3 ! \
        spider ! volume ! audioscale ! audioconvert ! $(gconftool-2 -g \
        /system/gstreamer/0.8/default/audiosink)
 and see if that happens with gstreamer?

   Thanks,
