[Pkg-gtkpod-devel] Bug#707999: gtkpod does not convert flac to mp3

[James P]

Package: gtkpod
Version: 2.1.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Installed gtkpod, added some FLAC files to the Music library. Used the "copy
selected tracks to" option to copy to ipod.
Nothing happens. The conversion.log indicates it has done the conversion but no
mp3's appear in the conversion_cache and nothing gets copied to the ipod.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
Installed package lame. gtkpod now gives feedback indicating that copy was
successful when coping selected tracks to ipod.

   * What was the outcome of this action?
gtkpod now converts flac to mp3 when using the "copy selected tracks to"
option.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?
When installing the gtkpod package. The lame package should either be a
dependency or a recommended package.
