Thanks for the link. Would you also happen to kow how to get Sound Juicer to encode at more than 160 Kbps? I just ripped some songs using the Hoary Live CD and would like to know how to increase the encoding quality so I'll know when I install hoary to it's own partition.

Thanks!

How did you manage to encode at 160 kbps? I can only encode at 256

I followed these instructions, but when I added 'quality=0.6' to the Gstreamer pipeline part I received this error when trying to rip in Sound Juicer:

Sound Juicer could not extract this CD
Reason: Could not create Gstreamer encoder ((null))

So is this a bug, or can we not increase the encoding rate? 128 Kbps is not enough for me.

P.S. The instructions worked fine.

Try adding preset=1002 to the end of the gsteamer profile line. You can also make it preset=1003 (which is the 'Extreme' setting) or preset=1004 ('Insane' setting). You'll also need the gstreamer0.8-mad package, which you can get from the marillat repository.

I get "Sound Juicer could not extract this CD
Reason: Could not create Gstreamer encoder ((null))" When I put preset=1002 at the end of the line. Yes I have the gstreamer0.8-mad package. I can however rip mp3s if I don't write preset=1002" but the bitrate is way too high

I can rip as long as it says audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc
but not if it says audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc preset=1001

what lame-file?

I installed the goobox mp3 ripper. It's like sound juicer but you get to choose the bitrate. The problem is that it doesn't matter which bitrate I choose. It still encodes at 256

Try the one for the marillat repository. I was able to change the bitrate so maybe the deb you're using is not working correctly. The only problem I noticed with it is some of my mp3s appear to be encoded at a very low bitrate (32) when in actuallity they sound fine and are the same size ratio as the ones reporting the correct ratio.

I'm not exactly sure what bitrate preset 1001 is (or any of the other presets for that matter), but it sounds like the mp3 was encoded at a variable bitrate.

vaskark,


Ah. Does anyone know how to encode at a constant bitrate then?

you can examine the available configuration options for the gstreamer-lame encoder by running
gst-inspect-0.8 in a terminal.

So, if you want to set your profile to CBR encoding, using 192 kBit/s, you would add "vbr=false bitrate=192" to your encoding profile. The "quality" setting, however, does the same thing; the default value (5) corresponds to 160 kBit/s.

ruff, maybe you can add this to the first post, so that it can be found easily.

Alexander,

Here is my current pipeline for encoding in MP3:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc preset=1001

So are you saying that I replace "preset=1001" with "vbr=false bitrate=192" ? I tried that and received the same error.

alexp
April 11th, 2005, 09:50 AM
vaskark,

according to the gstreamer developer documentation and various web sites, this is the way to configure gstreamer pipelines.

However, I posted yesterday without trying it out :-\". It seems that gstreamer and/or gnome-audio-profiles-properties (and God knows what else) frankly ignore those settings -- but I don't know why.

IMHO, the appropriate thing to do now is to file a bug (https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Ubuntu).

Get "Grip",and you can adjust everything including Rip Bitrate.
You need "Lame" and "Liblame" to encode to MP3 (Synaptic for them)

vaskark,



Here is my current pipeline for encoding in MP3:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc preset=1001

So are you saying that I replace "preset=1001" with "vbr=false bitrate=192" ? I tried that and received the same error.

I tried it out now. You can test the impact of the various settings by executing a gstreamer pipeline on your command prompt:

gst-launch-0.8 filesrc location=music.wav ! wavparse ! lame ! filesink location=music.mp3
This obviously assumes a "music.wav" input file in the current working directory. By adding options to the lame pipeline part, you can control the behaviour of the encoder, e.g. changing it to "lame vbr=0 bitrate=192" results in 192kBit/s CBR-encoded files. A short
gst-inspect-0.8 lame will tell the tale about all available settings, along with nice descriptions of what they do -- for me, the default is CBR/128.

Note that this *ONLY* works with the .deb from marillat (ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/dists/unstable/main/binary-i386/gstreamer0.8-lame_0.8.8-0.1_i386.deb); I tried with several other packages, and every single one wets its pants. Furthermore, after installing the package via dpkg, you have to run
sudo gst-register-0.8 once; else the encoder will crash hard and without hope for recovery.

After that, the code snippet from above will work. Please drop a short note when having it up and running.

Besides that, I found some documentation (http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats#head-d6f3a3ededfdd1a9bdbdec06d029bd976622bd9b) in the Ubuntu Wiki which explains the whole process, too -- obviously, this was completely overlooked by everyone.

I'm trying to be able to rip to mp3...so i'll resurect this thread.

When I attempt to run the extracter in soundjuicer with the new profile I recieve this error:

Sound Juicer could not extract this CD.
Reason: Could not create GStreamer encoders for CD Quality, Lossy mp3

So I looked back and found out that you need the gstreamer8.0-lame plugin/add on thing...

I apt-cache searched for it...but no...nothing. It's not there. I install gnome-media and all the gstreamer plugins...but one for lame is not listed.

WHERE IS IT?!?! WHY ME?

This thread helped me ripping mp3's with Sound-Juicer, but do anyone know how to choose the text-encoding(UTF8/ISOxxxx) for the files created? I'm usually good at reading manuals, but I do not find any manual for this gstreamer pipelining, neither with "man" nor "google". So if anyone know where to find the manual it would be even better!!

If someone can help me get this I would be thrilled. I might be able to get rid of WINE and Audiograbber.

In Audiograbber I rip @ these settings:
Stereo, High Quality and VBR quality level 3.

Does Sound Juicer add Id3 tags? Doesnt look to. :-k

Does anyone use Grip?

I'm not sure whether this is what you are asking for, but here it goes:


audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc bitrate=128 ! id3v2mux
I pasted this from: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CDRipping, which gives you detailed instructions on how to rip mp3 songs from soundjuicer. You'll have to install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse as indicated.

It seems that Soundjuicer does not add id3 tags, but I'll look into it.

I've been using Grip, and although it works fine, I find it overly unintuitive and too much bloated with options. I don't find the soundjuicer interface especially groundbreaking, but at least it is simple and intuitive. The only advantage I find in Grip is that it generates the id3 tags.

Forgive my stupidity but why would you want anything less than 256? That's CD quality isn't it? Maybe it's just me but I want my MP3 files to be indistinguishable from the original CDs.

Bloated with options? Unintuitive? Changing options by gstreamer pipeline entries is intuitive for you? I only use Grip to rip music just because you can set every single thing to how you want it, instead of having to conform to how your ripping program wants to organize your music. All you have to do is click check boxes and fill in some paths to where you want to files to go. The most difficult part is the %n - %a - %t.mp3 type stuff for file name formatting, but that's explained very clearly in the programs help section. It's better than having to choose from the 5 or 6 available settings in sound juicer, none of which I use. Plus it doesn't write ID3's which is ridiculous. I only wish Grip was incorporated into Rhythmbox instead of Sound Juicer. I wish I could use it, but it just wants to choose too many of my options for me.

I'm a newbie, as you can see. What I'm trying to do is create small low-quality mp3 files, so I can fit as many as possible on my (small, cheap) portable mp3 player. My assumption was that I could do that by encoding at a low bitrate. (When I record internet radio at 24 kb/sec, I get files that are about 1 MB per minute).

So I'm trying to encode mp3 files using this gstreamer pipeline:

Code:
audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc bitrate=24 ! id3v2mux

But this gives me an mp3 file of about 10MB per minute of music, which is the same as I get when I use bitrate=128.

So what am I doing wrong? Any suggestions would be gratefully received...

Thanks
Ross

I fixed it! I found that for some reason I had gstreamer-0.8 as well as gstreamer-0.10 installed. I used synaptic to remove gstreamer-0.8. Unfortunately that also got rid of gstreamer-0.8-lame. I found gstreamer-0.10-lame in gstreamer-plugins-ugly-multiverse, installed it, and everything started working.

I do prefer Sound Juicer to grip (sorry!)

June 26th, 2006, 04:28 AM
When I tried the above pipelines, Sound Juicer was just ripping things to WAV and using mp3 as the extension. Not very useful. So here's what I ended up with to do VBR files that average 192kpbs:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc vbr=4 vbr-mean-bitrate=192 preset=1001 ! id3v2mux

However, I've again run into the problem that ripping to VBR on linux (I think I was using PCLOS before) creates incorrect play times. I just ripped a 4 minute song, and Nautilus and amaroK are both telling me it's 30 minutes long. Is there a fix to this?

Edit:
I guess the incorrect track length must be a problem with the Gstreamer Lame. Using lame in Grip produces accurate times.

I think it DOES make the tags, but tags written are ID3 version 2.4.0 tags (http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/data/doc/gstreamer/head/gst-plugins-good-plugins/html/gst-plugins-good-plugins-id3v2mux.html), which some players can't read :(

You are completely right. I noticed this a couple of days ago after someone pointed this out in another thread.

I'm experience a strange problem with Sound Juicer on Ubuntu Dapper for PPC.

I Intall all additional software i need to rip on mp3 format: lame, gstreamer0.8-lame.

I set up the profile as described, I've reloaded Sound Juicer choosing the right profile and rip a track but I found a file, with mp3 extension that is truely a wav file!

Anybody could help me about this?

Tnx to all, Alex.

Alienhunter2010
July 10th, 2006, 02:33 PM
I found the solution myself. Dapper's version of Sound Juicer uses gstreamer0.10 instead of gstreamer0.8.

BTW 0.10 packages's structure is really different from 0.8 one. So you need to install following packages:


gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly (to play)
gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse (to encode with LAME)


With them your Sound Juicer turn back to work fine! \\:D/

I have major problems trying to encode mp3. Gstreamer0.10 are installed with dependancies (as long as apt-get did its job correctly). With sound juicer I have made all the changes necessary to encode the mp3. Everything looks fine but when I attempt to extract I get a "File not found " error.
With GooBox I again can see all the mp3 options and everything seems fine until I actually extract I get this :

For those of you who have problems with wrong track lengths using VBR encoding, the following line works for me:


audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc, preset=1001, xingheader ! id3v2mux

Notice the use of the xingheader option. The help on the lame gstreamer plugin mentions it's broken and that xingmux should be used instead, but quite contrary it seems that xingmux does not result in a correct XING-header.
I had no success to combine the id3mux plugin with anything that writes a xing header - it segfaults.

The way I combatted this whole thing was to rip a cd with a gstreamer pipeline of:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=2 vbr=4 (I have to have separate stereo, which mode=2 does)

THEN, the magic: Scanned the mp3s with Musicbrainz Picard; this reads the audio files, then tags them properly based on the musicbrainz.org database (it sounds geeky and annoying, but it's very easy once Picard is installed ( http://musicbrainz.org/doc/PicardLinuxInstall )


Basically (once it's set up):

Pop cd in > rip > process mp3s > Play through mp3 player


Hope this helps.


p.s. Quick encoding tip; to find your options for the gstreamer pipeline, run
gst-inspect-0.10 lame in a terminal (some options may not work, or I'm not sure how to use them)

Hey Guys, check out this link : http://www.pizon.org/adding-mp3-support-to-gnome.html

In your mp3 sound profile a command like this:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 bitrate=160

would set the bit rate to 160kbps

And for VBR encoding:

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr-quality=6

Hope this helps

add:

That doesn't give tags that EasyTAG or tagtool can read.

It identifies the tag as existing, but reads every field as blank.

Amarok, on the other hand, reads the tag just fine.

I have tried the above encoding suggestions, but my mp3 files are "silent" when I play them. (No sound except a short music blip after about 30 seconds.) I successfully encode and play as ogg, so it seems the hardware and sound systems are working properly.

Does anyone have a suggestion? Could Lame having a hard time with the input, and is there anything I need to check?

When I try to use this setting in sound-juicer, it does not complain and creates a file that is not an MP3 and is big enough to be a WAV file.

Doh!

Figured it out.

I needed gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse!

I'm switching to Grip, altough is more complicated there's a thread here explaing it... I counldn't select the MP3 profile in Juicer... tried many things but the profile doesn't list there...

vaskark,



you can examine the available configuration options for the gstreamer-lame encoder by running
gst-inspect-0.8 in a terminal.

So, if you want to set your profile to CBR encoding, using 192 kBit/s, you would add "vbr=false bitrate=192" to your encoding profile. The "quality" setting, however, does the same thing; the default value (5) corresponds to 160 kBit/s.

ruff, maybe you can add this to the first post, so that it can be found easily.

Regards,
Alexander

Thank you! I have been googling and googling.
