CD ripping

[dca]

I have all the necessary codecs install in Ubuntu 10.10 but when I rip CDs using either Rhyhtmbox or SoundJuicer they all say 128kpbs. I'm trying for AAC (.m4a) 256kbps (variable bit rate). Thanks...

I assume you have all your settings correct.....so here are... Some other suggestions. (http://maketecheasier.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-manage-your-audiovideo-files-in-linux/2009/03/03)

Not sure about AAC but I get 256kbps in mp3 by editing the gstreamer pipeline to:


audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr=0 bitrate=256 ! id3v2mux

In AAC, you might have to edit the faac profile=2 to another number or delete it altogether and replace it with bitrate=256

Hope that helps.

Great, thanks... I'll try that...
