HOWTO: Rip mp3 using Sound Juicer

[bsalt]

yeah i forgot to add that that didn't work for me either. oops. i should've waited until i tried the code.

Is there a way to enable mp3 extraction system-wide , i.e. not only for the current user but everyone ?

Just wanted to reply to the thread and say that in Edgy, the following line worked *perfectly* for me:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2!lame name=enc bitrate=192

[AndrewB]

Thanks for the set-up refresher.
worked for me in Edgy

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2!lame name=enc bitrate=256

[gorilla_king]

this worked in edgy and the other didnt for me. might suggest chaning the tutorial as everyone else said the same thing

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2!lame name=enc bitrate=256

I know it's retarded that I'm still on Breezy, but that's another topic.

When I try any of the pipeline commands with "lame", or "ugly", or "bad", none of them are recodnized. I tried "mad" because, you know, that's what Breezy's gstreamer is for MP3's. And yes, I also have Lame installed.

If only my computer could handle Dapper...

When I use bitrate=196 as indicated in the first post in this thread I get:
"Sound Juicer could not extract this CD. - Reason: Internal GStreamer error: negotiation problem"

Per MP3 entry on Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3
Bit rates available in MPEG-1 Layer 3 are 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128,
160, 192, 224, 256 and 320 kbit/s

When I change bitrate= to bitrate=192 it works fine for me, as do the others.

Was the 196 a typo? If so, is there some way to petition to have an admin edit the first post in this thread so that the bad information isn't perpetuated indefinitely? This thread is the first that appears in UbuntuForums.org when doing a search on: mp3 sound juicer

Indeed... You are a genius!

yes, set your favourite settings as a user in sound-juicer, then dump them into files with:
gconftool-2 --dump /system/gstreamer/0.10/audio > file1
gconftool-2 --dump /apps/sound-juicer > file2

as root then load the files into the systemwide default configuration:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --load file1
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults --load file2

you might want to backup /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults and edit file2 to remove some personal sound-juicer settings.

changes might be visible only after logout&login

Just to add my 2 cents. The lame pipeline from the first post worked once I change the rate to 192. What's wrong is that in the Sound Juicer help files they have the lame pipeline with 196 also.
