in ~/.gstreamer-0.10/GstLameMP3Enc.prs

[rhythmbox-custom-settings]
name=lamemp3enc7

changing to

name=lamemp3enc0

seems to be OK

but i cannot change the settings to export to portable mp3 device

Installed Sound Juicer - works perfectly.

Another workaround (from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2080739) is to choose a custom profile for ripping, then restart Rhythmbox.

Ubuntu Unity 14.04
Rhythmbox 14.04

When I try to rip an audio cd to mp3, Rhythmbox asks for installing MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) encoder, it searches but is unable to find it.

Asunder works very fine with the same CD.

I recently upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 and previous versionS of Rhythmbox were able to rip cd to mp3.
