Testing 12.04 beta I tried to rip a CD (Helb Alpert - he's the king right?) and found that it seems to only be encoding at 32kb/s by default.

MPEG 1.0 layer III, 32 kbit/s, 44100 Hz joint-stereo [2:17] Decoding of 01 - The Lonely Bull.mp3 finished. I played the file using VLC and found the codec info agrees with this stating 32kb/s - however when looking at the statistics the bitrate seems to be fluctuating which makes me think that the default settings are for very low quality VBR. Anyone know where Rhythmbox stores it's settings for calling the encoder (gstreamer?) these days? I've been playing about with rhythmbox.gep, but it's not particularly well documented.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945987 Title: No Settings are available in "Preferred format", only preset defaults are used To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/945987/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
