anyone?

Have you tried any other non mp3 audio files eg ogg, wav, wma?

Yeah unfortunately *anything* that needs transcoding doesn't work(incl. Apple Lossless, APE, etc)

How about videos (non flash)
I would be surprised if they work.
It looks if you have a problem with your ffmpeg install.
Do a forum search - there are quite a few posts about that on various linux builds - something to do with symlinks.
As a windows user it mostly "Klingon" to me

So my solution ended up being to reset the transcoding command line to default! Looks like I had some added command line arguments from previous versions.
