Testing 12.04 beta I tried to rip a CD (Helb Alpert - he's the king right?) and found that it seems to only be encoding at 32kb/s by default.

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! Title : The Lonely Bull Artist : Herb Alpert Album : Definitive Hits Year : 2001 Comment : Genre : Unknown Playing MPEG stream from 01 - The Lonely Bull.mp3 ... MPEG 1.0 layer III, 32 kbit/s, 44100 Hz joint-stereo [2:17] Decoding of 01 - The Lonely Bull.mp3 finished. I played the file using VLC and found the codec info agrees with this stating 32kb/s - however when looking at the statistics the bitrate seems to be fluctuating which makes me think that the default settings are for very low quality VBR. Anyone know where Rhythmbox stores it's settings for calling the encoder (gstreamer?) these days? I've been playing about with rhythmbox.gep, but it's not particularly well documented.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/945987 Title: No Settings are available in "Preferred format", only preset defaults are used Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This has been going on since 11.10 dev, maybe should be addressed In Edit - Preferences, the Settings button is greyed out & unavailable.
