Soundjuicer is a nice CD ripper for Gnome 2 and probably the tool of choice when it comes to Cd ripping in Ubuntu. Depending on your installation it could be that ripping CDs directly to mp3 is not supported by some versions (Feisty apparently does, Edgy and Dapper donÂ’t seem to) and has to be added to make this possible. This could be useful if you own a mp3 player that does not support the ogg or flac format.

The following instruction was taken from the “What I know about Linux“.

In Sound Juicer, go to “Edit” –> “Preferences”, then down by “Output Format” click on “Edit Profiles”. Add a “New” profile with the following;

Profile Name: MP3
Profile Description: MPEG Layer 3
GStreamer Pipeline: audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc vbr=false bitrate=192 ! id3mux
File Extension: mp3

and check the active box. You should now be able to rip in MP3.

Personally, I prefer Grip.
