The quality settings are not yet accessible in sound-juicer. When ripping audio-cds and encode them to MP3, 128kBit/s is used. This is way to low for keeping quality. Until quality settings are available, could somebody supply a patch to increase the encoding quality for MP3 to 192kBit/s? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

I bet people are more used to 128 than 192, it is just a matter of personal preference. Anyway, quality profiles are available in 2.10 sound juicer, so... closing.
okay.
