Ubuntu Tip: How to change the bitrate for ripping MP3s in Sound Juicer
- Open Sound Juicer (Applications > Sound & Video > Audio CD Extractor on my Ubuntu Studio System)
- Edit > Preferences
- Click “Edit Profiles”
- Click “New”
- Enter a name for your new profile and click “OK”.
- Select the new profile and click “Edit”.
- Check the “Active” box.
- Replace “wav” with “mp3” in the “File Extension” textbox.
- Paste the following line into the “GStreamer Pipeline” textbox (for 192kbps):
audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2!lame name=enc bitrate=192
- Click “Close” until you get back to the main window and close Sound Juicer. There appears to be a bug that keeps your new profile from showing up in the list until the program is restarted.
- Restart Sound Juicer.
- Edit > Preferences
- Select your new profile. Now you will be able to rip in your specified bitrate.
