Sound Works Fine, everything seems ok, but I have set the preferences to be a constant bit rate of 320.
Any Idea why the software is deciding on its own what bit rate to RIP?
This is particular disturbing set of circumstances. The Listed 32kbps files seem to be of quality and size equalling that of a 320Kbps mp3 file, yet several factory bought cd's yeilded 32,160,224,256,320 Kbps. 5 different bit Rates within the same CD. ??
Is the Quality Column of RhythmBox Lying to me and they are all 320.??
Do I have a secret squirrel devil harboring inside my machine using the extra space within my sound files to do what it wants?
Do I need to get better at taming GStreamer and the Lame Functions for makeing mp3's.
