Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: sound-juicer

Currently, if you want to rip a CD, you do it via Sound Juicer, which talks to 
gnome-audio-profiles-properties, which talks to gstreamer, which talks to lame 
(for mp3). Thing is, manually creating switches like the following to do your 
job:
audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=1 vbr=4 
vbr-min-bitrate=128 vbr-max-bitrate=192 ! xingmux ! id3v2mux
is a disgrace to 2008 computing. Users should not have to learn to read and 
understand these cryptic lines of switches. When iTunes does it so perfectly 
for 8 years now, why can't the Gnome desktop? And if not for mp3, why not even 
for OGG?

The Ubuntu project (I don't have any hopes that the gnome or gstreamer
guys will ever get their act together) should provide its users with
something like this: http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/images/gst-lame.png
