Goto "Edit" -> "Preferences", then tab "Music" and select "Custom settings" for "Format settings". Choose a quality level (higher is better). That did the trick for me.

Trying to install these libraries fail - in the attached pictures, it would want to install i386 libs on and AMD64 machine, and the install button is greyed out - but on an i386 machine, it simply says that required libs don't exist... Well, the bottom line is that is won't encode to MP3, period. An interesting point is that, on the i386 machine, I also have KDE, and there Dolphin is perfectly able tp encore the CD to MP3, so I know for sure that "required libs" are properly installed on the system...
