[Bug 1348222] Re: Rhythmbox asks for installing MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) encoder

 

It seems that

sudo apt-get purge rhythmbox gir1.2-rb-3.0 librhythmbox-core5 rhythmbox-
mozilla rhythmbox-data rhythmbox-plugin-zeitgeist rhythmbox-plugin-
magnatune rhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder librhythmbox-core6 rhythmbox-
plugins

and then upgrading to RB 3.2.1 from fossfreedom ppa solved my problem.

I guess upgrading RB version was not even necessary, just reinstall
current RB version from official repo's for Ubuntu 14.04 could be
enough.

Title:
  Rhythmbox asks for installing MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) encoder

Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hello.

  I run ubuntu 14.04 "upgraded" from 13.10, so not a total fresh
  install.

  Rhythmbox plays mp3 with no problem but when I try to rip audio CD to
  mp3 it asks for "MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) encoder".

  It searches it for a while and then say it was unable to find the
  plugin - something related to gstreamer.

  On this pc Asunder, Banshee or Audacity work as expected when ripping
  audio CD to mp3.
