I previously had this working with FC4 (my previous thread on the subject was called "An mp3 ripping yarn") With FC5 I've followed the same method to get Sound Juicer ripping:- rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm yum install gstreamer08-plugins-extra-audio Add the mp3 profile:- Add new profile and name it MP3. Then press Edit and set GStreamer Pipeline to audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc I also tried audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc preset=1002 Then set the File Extenstion to mp3 and checked Active. It goes through the motions but the resulting files won't play on xmms. The mp3 files I ripped with the same Sound Juicer setup on FC4 play just fine with xmms on FC5 (I did yum install xmms-mp3). Can anybody tell me what's wrong please? Is it the Gstreamer Pipeline string?
