Yes, mea culpa!  I had not got the tainted repo enabled.  Now it's
working perfectly.  Bells and whistles programs can be useful, but
sometimes a do-a-single-job application is preferred :-)

Actually, in this case, no.  You have to "buy" it from their shop, for
legal reasons, but the invoice price is £0.00.  It just satisfies the
requirements of mp3 on distros that are fanatical in their refusal to
provide the necessary.

I installed their package before I realised what my problem was -
probably didn't need it.
