Hello,
I'm looking for an application that will let me, In the most convenient manner possible:
- adjust the settings for output files, primarily mp3 or aac, as well as
- automatically detect my optical drive! and
- look up a CD data base on the internet to fetch artist/track/etc. details!
for Lubuntu 13.04!
Thanks, Ben
WARNING: the gstreamer LAME plugin, used in the instructions below, is broken and will produce substandard quality MP3s. [...] 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.
Maybe that is the reason LAME was not installed on my Lubuntu.
Will try some of these other suggestion. I wonder why they dedicate the most space and detailed description to the solution that is not recommended.

Must admit, I don't do much ripping at all
When I do I usually use whatever the 'default' ripper on current distro is, output as Flac.
Maybe that is the reason LAME was not installed on my Lubuntu.
The bug report mentioned in that article is 5 years old. Does the problem still exist? Besides, the bug report appears to be against Gstreamer, not LAME. And the bug report webpage says "Fix Released".
I use Asunder for CD ripping. Is it "the best"? I don't know. It's just the one I use.
while it doesn't fit your request for acc and mp3 I thought I should metion crip.
It has a very simple interface and does an excellent job with tags/metadata. It is packaged for Debian and seems to be available on the latest *buntu too. See:
Yeah, but as far as I can tell (I use Clementine as my standard media player), it can't rip from cd...it can only transcode from one format to another. IE - it already needs to be ripped to a digital file in order to Clementine to do so.
