Bug Description
When using Rhythmbox and changing the preferred file format to MP3, a button labeled "install additional software required to use this format" appears. Clicking the button brings up a "search for suitable plugins" for an "ID3 tag muxer" but one cannot be found.

Funny enough, just after I reported this, I looked in the software center and saw it mentioning the gstreamer "bad" plugins set as not installed.
Installing it made the problem go away.
MP3 support is installed via the "ugly" plugins set, I thought... shouldn't this ID3 tag muxer be installed with that, and not "bad"?
Alternately... why couldn't it figure out it just needed that set of plugins?
