Bug Description

Binary package hint: sound-juicer

There are bugs regarding non-working mp3 ripping (bug 117062, bug 205874). I understand that the mp3 codec is not installed by default for patent reasons. However, for the end user, this looks like a bug, as it is not clear why there is an mp3 setting in Preferences -> Edit Profiles but mp3 is not available in the "Output Format" selection.

Please add some kind of clue to the UI that explains the missing codec and a hint which package to install. A possible solution is not to filter the combo box, but showing a message dialog when a unavailable format is selected. I guess there are even better ways.

I'll agree with this - if you look at the (non-working) mp3 profile, the obvious package to add is lame, but the actual one needed is gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse ...
