Sound Juicer "Where Beer Does Flow And Men Do Chunder" 0.6.0
Sound Juicer "Where Beer Does Flow And Men Do Chunder" 0.6.0 is available -- download the tarball here. Debian packages available in my repository shortly and may be buildable for Sid when GTK+ 2.6 is in (tomorrow I'd say).
This is the first release in the 0.6 series. It's a bit rough, but please file any crashes you find in it. In particular, you can only encode to Ogg Vorbis and FLAC unless you create new audio profiles. However, it will hopefully morph into Sound Juicer 2.10.0 rapidly and be part of the Desktop release.
- Now uses Audio Profiles for encoding
- Expanded metadata tags
- HAL-enabled builds actually compile
- Time remaining calculations actually work (hondaguru@earthlink.net)
- Handle filename conversion failures (Frederic Crozat)
- Handle empty results from MusicBrainz (FC)
- Disable Select/Deselect All when extracting (Raj Madhan)
- Don't crash at startup when there is no profile defined (RM)
- Handle unset audio profile keys (RM)
- Ensure Select/Deselect All reflect the state of the selections (Nirmal Kumar)
- Warn the user if they try and exit whilst ripping (RM)
- The Close button is the default when extracting is complete

Hi,
nice! Can you explain quickly how to create audio profiles ? (say, for example, to extract to mp3).
Also, any news on the "Quality - coming soon" ?
Thanks for your software.

Run gnome-audio-profiles-properties, and created/edit the pipeline. If you want a MP3 profile by default, you'll have to file a bug with gnome-media, as SJ can't register one when it is installed.

Wouldn't it be better if gstreamer modules could be packaged with new audio profiles? I doubt that gnome-media will add a new profile for mp3 or aac because most users wouldn't be able to use it on a default installation, but adding profiles to the gstreamer-plugins-extras rpm wouldn't be controvertial at all.
I think the issue is sort of similar to applications shipping with menu icons and mime handlers instead of expecting the distro to include them all. Users expect all their installed applications to be included in the foot menu and they will expect all their installed codecs to be shown in the format options in their audio and video encoding applications. Gnome seems to be trying to get rid of all the places where users need to type command lines or magic strings to get reasonable behavior(desktop file properties, mime actions control panel, gvm control panel). Although it would be nice to have a gui editor for profiles like the one in iTunes, I think gnome should at least have a profile for each supported codec like iTunes has.

As I said, this isn't something SJ can change, so direct any comments about how audio profiles should work to the gnome-multimedia list or gnome-media's bugzilla.

I can't get full internationalization in sj 0.6.
Some text appears in English and some text in Spanish. What shall I do? I've translated all the messages in es.po and converted the file to *.mo and then recompiled, but nothing.
Thanks.
