Am on Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS now. The damn distro actually worked fine for once. Till install that is. Well, it actually works great or else I wouldn't have gone back to Ubuntu. Anyways, I only have one issue so far and it's really a non-issue, but more of an annoyance.

When playing the few mp3s that I have the music at random times gives off what sounds like a reverb. Now I know these mp3s don't normally sound like that. My ogg and flac are fine. Just the mp3s. I have tried reinstalling the codecs, but that didn't help. I know I am out of sync with Ubuntu. Haven't ran it for a very long. So, any help would be awesome in getting these mp3s working right.

Thanx!

Yeah, VLC makes them sound crappy.

Well, I installed Clementine and the mp3s play fine now. I just think that Rhythmbox has crappy mp3 support.
