Well I dragged and dropped and MP3 in and it worked fine, although I can't figure out how to add titles (I'll have to play further). I believe I have the ubuntu-restricted-extras package installed. Are you able to play the MP3 files in the Ubuntu Movie Player? (I had the issue where it wouldn't import videos from my video camera, and then when I tried to play them in Movie Player it prompted to install the correct codecs). I haven't looked at the PiTiVi forums yet, I did post a bug response about the unhelpful message about not being able to find a specific codec rather than it prompting to install them but I was asked to suggest it as a feature. Guess it was just a bug to me (thinking about it, I guess it might be more of a feature request).
