I was poking around at sound-juicer, and noticed that I couldn't rip mp3s. I checked the README and it says you need the lame gstreamer plugin (which I did have installed). When I was looking for similar bugs, I noticed that older versions used to have support for it, but this most recent version does not. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Use 'gnome-audio-profiles-properties' to open and edit the audio profiles. To use mp3, create a new profile, name it "Lame standard", "Lame medium" or "Lame extreme" (only examples). After that, edit the newly created profile and put this in "GStreamer Pipeline": audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc preset=1002 The option "preset=1002" will use lames "--preset extreme" switch, the resulting file will be huge! If you want more options or different presets you can freely add them, try 'gst-inspect-0.8 lame' to list all supported switches. Now you can choose your newly created audio profile in sound-juicer! However i ran into mp3 behaving weird, same as in this post on gnome mailing list http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-list/2005-March/msg00104.html
Found the bug in gnomes bugzilla, listed here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171889 no new info
*** Bug 106833 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
as stated in my other bug report (the duplicate one), CBR does actually work (at least for me). please confirm, so that a mp3 USE-flag could be added to sound-juicer, along with a sensible mp3 preset such as: " audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc quality=0 bitrate=192"
sorry for bumping this, but it is really bothering me not being able to control the merge of sound-juicer regarding mp3 functionality. maybe the mp3 USE-flag isn't the appropriate one, maybe it should be 'lame'.
do you have a mp3-profile defined in gnome-audio-profiles-properties ? what does 'gst-inspect lame' gives you on the command-line?
Is this still an issue with the current stable? (2.12.3)
no response, this should be resolved in latest stable. please re-open if its not the case.
sorry for being so late. had problems with my email provider. yes, this is still an issue regarding sound-juicer not being able to encode to mp3 as long as you don't install gst-plugins-lame separately. and no, this is no longer an issue to me as I now use banshee for ripping and encoding cds. gst-inspect-0.8 lame gives no output, as gst-plugins-lame-0.8 isn't installed, but as I'm using banshee 0.10.10-r1 with gnome-2.14 from unstable, only gst-plugins-lame-0.10 is installed. but sound-juicer-2.14 still won't give MP3 encoding option with gst-plugins-lame-0.10.3 installed (as a dependency for banshee). so, all in all, the original enhancement bug persists.
P.S.: can't REOPEN the bug due to limited rights and me not being the initial reporter.
I would, if i was capable, would add a USE for mp3 to sound-juicer and would let gst-plugins-lame ship a "default" profile just as the ones for ogg and flac my 2 cents (euro-cents)
I'm a bit uncertain about this one. The sound-juicer help (1st line) gives instructions on how to add support for mp3's (granted, the current provided pipeline doesn't work for 0.10) and I think that is sufficient. s-j itself can encode to anything gstreamer can encode to, where do we stop taking users by the hand ? Now mp3, next mpc and then mp4... the list goes on. Oh btw, it is arguable the changes should be added to gnome-media which provides the profile-editor iirc.
