Comment 32 for bug 283658

I've switched to RipperX. You may also need to manually install (Synaptic) Lame.

However, I strongly recommend reading:
http://www.dwasifar.com/?p=836 for setting up RipperX (note the manual amendment of the config file)
and
http://jthz.com/mp3/ for general VBR info.

Note that the last url tries to throw a pop-up (not needed) which Firefox auto-blocked. Just thought I'd mention it.

My encoder line reads: Encoder::fullCommand = lame --nohist -V2 --vbr-new -q0 --lowpass 19.7 -b 96
This suits me but ymmv :)
