K3b apparently rip well CD-Audio tracks to MP3 (lame), but when rip is finished, you will not find the supposed output MP3 file, it is missing, so any track ripped?

Same problem here, there is a bug in karmic and k3b - mp3 (lame) conversion.

I tried to convert a flac audio file to mp3, k3b is reporting no errors and a correct progress bar, but when the conversion is finished, there is no mp3 file. If i do a ogg vorbis conversion all is correct.

karmic alpha 6 , 32 bits.

I encountered this one as well, and was able to fix it by changing the lame command line:

- Go to Settings > Plugins
- Find the "K3b External Audio Encoder" and click its wrench icon
- Select "Mp3 (lame)" and click "Edit..."
- Change the command to:

lame -r --big-endian -s 44.1 -m s -h --tt %t --ta %a --tl %m --ty %y --tc %c - %f

Contrary to what the UI says, the raw data seems to be big endian.

Instead of changing the command line, you can choose to check both the "Swap Byte Order" and "Write Wave Header" checkboxes.
