Howdy,

I'm trying to get Sound-Juicer to rip CD tracks to mp3 format, but, since RedHat doesn't ship any products with mp3 support, I can't. I know there is something about gstreamer that allows this ripping type, but I can't make sense of most of the documentation. Can anyone point me i the right direction? Thanks so much.

There is no way except isntall gstreamer.
But when I tried to install gstreamer on FC4 machine,
it said I lack library to do so.
Therefore, I you want to install gstreamer, try yum or
something else rather than download the package for
its website.
On the other hand, if you have installed gstreamer and
want to use the interface of sound-juicer, try these lines,
I found it in sound-juicer help:


If you need to store tracks in the MP3 format (for example, because your portable music player only supports MP3 and not Ogg Vorbis), you will need to create a new profile. To do this, run gnome-audio-profiles-properties, press New and name it MP3. Then press Edit and set GStreamer Pipeline to audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc, the File Extenstion to mp3, and check Active. Then start Sound Juicer and select the MP3 format.

This profile uses the LAME MP3 encoder, so you will need to have the GStreamer LAME plugin installed.
