Does that work for you? Are you using vbr? I've tried it and it didn't work for me. On 3/5/08, Srik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Forwarded. They provided a solution: adding the "xingmux" parameter to > the "Pipeline Gstreamer". I think this parameter should be inserted by > default in the prof

I'll give it a try as soon as I get a CD to burn. I'm working out of town without my CD's. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks. On 3/5/08, Srik <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > This is the functional line: > audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr=4 > vbr-quality=0 vbr

The trouble with the misleading reporting by apps theory is that the apps report expected values correctly when tracks are ripped using Ruby Ripper or Grip. Seems to point the finger at g-streamer? On Mon, Jul 12, 2010 at 3:30 AM, Bruce R <195...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: > Fascinating ! > Re-r
