Does this bug still exist? The recent reviews (2013) for Sound Juicer complain about the poor quality. presumably because of this bug. (If bug it is. Having read all of the above I now cannot tell what it is.)
On trying to decide on CD ripping software to produce MP3s to run under Xubuntu 13.04, I came across the Ubuntu help page on CD ripping ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CDRipping ) still has KennoVO's comment "WARNING: the gstreamer LAME plugin, used in the instructions below, is broken and will produce substandard quality MP3s. You can track the bug here. If you want to create MP3s, it is recommended not to use Sound Juicer; use a program that doesn't interface with LAME through gstreamer instead. Good examples are RubyRipper and ABCDE." Is that still true? To get Xubutu 13.04's default ripping software, K3b, to produce MP3s, one must install LAME. How does one tell which CD ripping software doesn't interface with LAME through gstreamer? Asunder, Ripper X, Audex, AcidRip and RipOff are all highly rated in the Ubuntu Software Centre, but how to tell which are affected by this bug report? Any chance of a summary of what the state of this problem is? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195483 Title: Sound Juicer - MP3 quality doesn't change To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-media/+bug/195483/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
