HOWTO: Rip mp3 using Sound Juicer

[Ack99]

If you have and iPod and is using Amarok to upload songs to it, you probably noticed that you can upload .ogg files...

So, if you want to rip cds as mp3's here is what to do:

1. install Gstreamer plugin:
   

   sudo apt-get install gstreamer-plugin-bad

   in Dapper or
   

   sudo apt-get install gstreamer-plugin-ugly

   in Edgy
2. Open Sound Juicer CD Extractor
3. go Edit > preferences and in the format are choose edit profile
4. click New and name it MP3
5. Select the MP3 profile and set the GStreamer pipeline to:
   

    audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc vbr=0 bitrate=196 ! id3v2mux

   in dapper or
   

    audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! ugly name=enc vbr=0 bitrate=196 ! id3v2mux

   in Edgy
6. Set the File Extension to mp3, and select the Active check box
7. Restart Sound Juicer

and you can now rip mp3's

When I do this the extracted files become 1-6 hours of pops, hisses and glitches. Sort of cool considering I am ripping noise CDs, but not the kind of noise I am aiming for.

I came to a screeching halt at the very first step!

sudo apt-get install gstreamer-plugin-ugly Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package gstreamer-plugin-ugly

It sounds like you haven't fully enabled the Universe and Multiverse repositories. Check this out:

Once you've got them enabled, try the instructions above again. You shouldn't have any problem getting the gstreamer-plugin-ugly via the command line or from Synaptic Package Manager. Good luck!

I DO have those repositories enabled! In Synaptic I found a 'gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly'--you think that's what he meant?

Yes

okay, i followed the first post, however one thing didnt work out. the pipeline suggested for edgy gave me garbled output (even though i am using edgy).

i used the pipeline suggested for dapper and that seemed to work fine.
(and yes, i am using gstreamer0.10)

[mhosken]

I found installing gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse and using lame in the pipeline worked for me

[m.musashi]

I also got nothing but noise using the code given. Using lame in the pipeline working fine. In my case the gstreamer plugins were already installed. I just added lame in preferences and it worked fine.

The OP's Gstreamer line didn't work for me, but this one did:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc
