Sorry to be slow to add this comment folks, but it looks as if my original Sound Juicer recommendations haven't been strictly followed, the most common mistake being to insert 'vbr=3' instead of just 'vbr=4' in editing the profile, which de-selects LAME's new VBR algorithm instead of selecting it.
The next most common mistake appears to be not installing the associated GStreamer LAME plugin by installing 'ubuntu-restricted-extras', which sadly gets stalled in installing MScoreTTFonts for some variants of Ubuntu.
Finally, even if folk get all that right, players and other tools can misleadingly report no change from unmodified Sound Juicer CBR, with added 'checkMP3' providing more truthful information.
