    Rip CD's in MP3 format @ 192 kbps CBR in Sound Juicer

    To rip CD's in Sound Juicer in MP3 format in Sound Juicer, follow these steps below.

    This is only for Ubuntu Dapper Drake

    Make sure you have gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg installed:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
    1) Open up Sound Juicer and go to EDIT -> PREFERENCES -> Edit Profiles...

    2) Click on New to create a new profile. Name it whatever you want (I chose "MP3")

    3) Go ahead and select your new profile and click on "Edit"

    4) Place anything you want in Profile Description

    5) For Gstreamer pipeline, use this as a guideline:
    Code:
    audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc vbr=false bitrate=192 ! id3mux
    Feel free to change 192 to a higher or lower bitrate if so desired. The tag id3mux makes it possible for a program like Rhythmbox to read the file's id3 tag.

    6) Type mp3 in "File Extension" and click the "Active?" checkbox.

    7) Restart Sound Juicer

    8) Go to EDIT->Preferences and select your newly created profile on the list.


    You are now ready to rip CD's at a higher-quality bitrate.

    Awesome, I was just looking for how to add mp3 support to Sound Juicer so I could compare ogg vs. mp3. Thanks!

    For best results regarding sound quality and compression ratio you shouldn't use CBR encoding at all but VBR (variable bitrate) instead. More info about recommended lame settings can be found here:

    http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index....coder_Settings

    I use and recommend following pipeline:

    Code:
    audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc vbr=4 vbr-quality=2 ! xingmux ! id3v2mux
    This is equivalent for lame command line switch -V 2 --vbr-new. I have added xingmux to create xing header for vbr mp3 files. For example Ipods and xmms player use xing header to calculate vbr mp3 length, so mp3's created without xingmux won't behave as expected with those players. For some reason id3mux doesn't work with xingmux, so I use id3v2mux instead.

    I have a strange behaviour, the output files are about ten times bigger then normal mp3 file size and they doesn't playback.
    Could the problem come from the fact that I upgraded from a Breezy to Dapper without making a complete fresh installation?

    I'm having the same problem with the code pekko provided. Upgrading to Dapper shouldn't have any problem.

    1.- System > Help > Ubuntu Book

    2.- Select Chapters > "Using Ubuntu on the Desktop"

    3.- Search: "Ripping Songs as MP3s"

    4.-
    " You should first install the gstreamer-10-ugly-multiverse package (from the Multiverse repository). Next, in Sound Juicer click Edit > Preferences and click the Edit Profiles button. In the dialog box that pops up, click New, call the profile MP3, and then select it from the list and click Edit.

    Now fill in the settings with the following information:

    Profile Description: MP3 Encoder
    GStreamer Pipeline: audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc
    File Extension: mp3

    Check the Active box, and click OK. Now close the Profiles dialog box, and click Close to close the Preferences box. Restart Sound Juicer, and you can now select MP3 from the Format combo box in the Preferences box. "

    I don't have this package. Multiverse is enabled.

    Awesome that worked, thanks. Now is there anyway I can use VBR equivalent to Lames "-standard" switch?
