mp3 / sound juicer / dapper drake
 

Hi all. I have been fighting with this problem for a week now, and I am just out of ideas. Near as I can tell, everything should be perfect, but it just won't work.

As I expect you can guess from the subject, I am trying to rip mp3s with Sound Juicer in Ubuntu 6.06. Ripping to ogg works fine, but I cannot put ogg on my ipod, so until I can get a new player....

Basically, I have followed every tutorial I can find (including this one:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CD...4438e9f7691d58)

to a T. I have installed every single gstreamer-related thing listed with add/remove. I have enabled multiverse and used apt-get to install
gstreamer0.8-lame and
gstreamer0.8-mad.

My gstreamer pipeline currently reads:
(though I have tried it countless different ways), and yet every single time I rip a track, it creates a large file (35 MB for a 3.5 minute song) that plays back only squeaks and distortion.

What on Earth am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

I'm no gstreamer expert, but what happens when you remove the last two elements of the pipe:Dave

No change.

I'm fairly certain it's just creating wavs. I mean, the file sizes are right for wavs, but it still won't play them. Just squeaks and noise.

Thanks for the suggestion. Anyone have any other ideas?

PS - Jawa ---> :jawa:

I am having this same exact problem and I really wish I could rip mp3's. If anyone knows the answer, please respond.

Fixed it! Go in the terminal and type: sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
It works like a breeze now. I wonder if the gstreamer "ugly" set that is in add/remove programs is faulty.

Rawk! That worked for me, too! Thanks so much for posting your solution.

Wow. I just chanced on this thread. I've been having the same problem with Ubuntu and gstreamer mp3s and the solution worked like charm for me too. Thanks.

Hi,

I dont have ubuntu but a Red Hat Linux 4 and above version installed. when i try to run

sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse

I get an error as

sudo: apt-get: command not found

Pl suggest.

This worked great for me as wel. Thanks.

That is because Red Hat uses yum rather than apt. Since I don't use it I don't know if this will work, but try:
sudo yum install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse
