Due mp3 support can not be officially supported (I guess), this really IS kind of a showstopper bug. Ripping only CBR mp3s as a workaround is not a good solution. Anyone know why this is so hard to fix? In feisty this worked fine for me. (or at least in edgy) I was hoping this would be solved in h

Can confirm this behaviour in Gutsy with Sound-juicer. A workaround would be to install the ffmpeg-packages and editing the gstreamer-pipeline (in Sound-Juicer or by "gnome-audio-profile-properties") something like this: "audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc quality=2 mode=0 vbr=

The problem in Gutsy is, that you can't select pipelines in sound-juicer which include "xingmux". They simply will not appear. This is the bug, I think. Though they are available in gnome-audio-profiles-properties and active. "xingmux" is pretty much needed to get correct metadata in VBR-mp3. Th
