- koregaonpark, on 10/12/2007, -7/+4Ubuntu only runs GNOME, if you wanna run KDE/Kfce, you have to install the Kubuntu and Xubuntu desktops.
- dtfinch, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3All I did was install the "gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse" package, which included the lame mp3 encoding plugin for gstreamer. The profile was created automatically. I'm using Feisty though. But I'm pretty sure no matter what you have you'll still need to install that gstreamer plugin.
- koregaonpark, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1I actually found this post while looking for a solution, because in Edgy and Dapper the profile is not created automatically.

SoundJuicer is the CD ripper of choice for Ubuntu, but it doesn't rip directly to MP3, nor does it give you the option to do so. To create that option...
In Sound Juicer, go to "Edit" --> "Preferences", then down by "Output Format" click on "Edit Profiles". Add a "New" profile with the following;
Profile Name: MP3
Profile Description: MPEG Layer 3
GStreamer Pipeline: audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc vbr=false bitrate=192 ! id3mux
File Extension: mp3
and check the active box. You should now be able to rip in MP3.
Note: MP3 is more of a "lossy" format than OGG, which is the default. Use OGG when you can, and MP3 when you must.
