Ripping MP3's on Ubuntu

Mostly a note to myself - it's documented in lots of different ways in lots of different places but here's what I've found works for me.

Make sure you have the gstreamer ugly and bad packages installed.

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly

  • Open Sound Juicer CD Extractor
  • go Edit > preferences and in the format are choose edit profile
  • click New and name it MP3
  • Select the MP3 profile and set the GStreamer pipeline to:
audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc bitrate=160 ! id3v2mux

  • Set the File Extension to mp3, and select the Active check box
  • Restart Sound Juicer
