[Bug 195483] Re: Sound Juicer - MP3 quality doesn't change

2014-02-23 Thread Simon Reed
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?
