Hello,

New to these forums so hello and thanks in advance for any help offered.

I am a new user of Suse 10 (gnome version) and am having problems with Banshee mainly that I can't get it to work on a regular basis.

The one item I liked about Banshee was the ripper and player were integrated in one app, but more so that with Banshee I could rip OGG files at 320 bit rate.

I checked out Sound Juicer last night, but can't seem to figure out how to change the bit rate when it is ripping a music cd. I see the edit profiles section but can't figure out how to get the increased bit rate when ripping.

Thanks for any help....

In the profiles dialog, go to the very end of the pipeline where it says "quality=0.5". You can change it to a number between 0 and 1 (or maybe even more or less). Wikipedia has a list of what bitrates the quality values correspond to.

thanks for the help.

I made the change moving quality to -q9, but when I try to rip a cd the below error comes up:

Sound Juicer could not extract this CD.
Reason: Could not create GStreamer encoders for CD Quality, Lossy

I assume something is missing from my system?

thanks again

I think you might have configured the profile of the ogg wrong. Try duplicating the profile with the setting "quality=0.5" and changing that line to "quality=0.9". It should work.

Thanks for the help. I will give it a try when I get home tonight.

As you can tell I am very new to gnu/linux.

thanks again
