Description Fabian Greffrath 2009-04-09 14:00:32 UTC
Hi,

in the "Output Format" box in the Preferences window, Sound-Juicer 
displays a file extension next to each codec in the list. File 
extensions are completely pointless IMHO, the codecs actually have 
*names*. If you want to make clear that Ogg Vorbis hides behind "CD 
Quality, Lossy", please call the codec by its name. The added string 
".oga type" doesn't tell me anything.

So please change

  CD Quality, Lossless (.flac type) -> CD Quality, Lossy (FLAC)
  CD Quality, Lossy (.oga type) -> CD Quality, Lossy (Ogg Vorbis)
  Voice, Lossless (.wav type) -> CD Quality, Lossy (WAV)
  Voice, Lossy (.spx type) -> CD Quality, Lossy (Speex)

or similar.

NB: I think this "feature" is rather new, because I haven't seen it 
before. I cannot tell when it has been added, though, because I don't 
use Sound-juicer that often.

NB2: This issue doesn't seem to be restricted to Sound-Juicer, since I 
have also seen it in (at least) Rhythmbox. Please reassign this bug 
report if appropriate.

Thanks,
Fabian

Reassigning to gnome-media.
Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2011-02-22 17:19:29 UTC
Mass move to new component.
Comment 3 Sam Morris 2012-07-16 18:31:15 UTC
This was RESOLVED some time ago. The current formats have names like "MPEG 4 Audio", no extension mentioned.

libgnome-media-profiles is not under active development anymore. Its codebase has been archived. Closing all its open tickets as part of housekeeping.
