[Bruce R <195483@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some afterthoughts.
In case it's not been clear, I am not interested in scoring 'brownie points' for 'being smart', only in obtaining a 'CD Quality' profile that consistently works for friends and other users, leaving 'B-cubed' to other folk, but so far I have not seen any meaningful definition of 'lame' versus 'lamemp3enc' terms and profiles, so if we are to be pedantic, I will in future just refer to the 'BruceR' versus 'KennoVO' profiles.
Meanwhile, I see that the Ubuntu 10.10 'rc' releases are still exhibiting some inconsistencies in operation between the Ubuntu Software Center and Synaptic, in adding ubuntu-restricted-extras and sound-juicer, where initiation by the Software Center then needs completion or reinstallation by Synaptic.  However, once installed, Audio CD Extractor's less obvious CD Quality, MP3 default profile is a KennoVO style profile (audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lameemp3enc name=enc target=0 quality=6 ! xingmux ! id3v2mux) which I have simply amended with 'quality=2' before use in a LiveCD session.
It's then a lot slower encoding than my 'Mint-9 on a stick' and still has 'a strident and raucous colouration' to my ears, but I really must get some younger, keener, and more musical ears to compare the results against the original CDs.
