Comment 11 for bug 195483

I tried it, except I changed vbr-max-bitrate=192 to vbr-max-bitrate=256.
The cd ripped just fine, but Amarok reports a bitrate of 128 for all the
tracks. This is something that's definitley broken in g-streamer as is well
documented in the ubuntu forums, it's definitly not fixed, I don't know how
to fix it, and the bug guys just don't seem interested. This is very
peculiar since variable bit rate encoding of mp3's is such an important
function. Note that Amazon.com (which incidentally has recently released a
linux version of it's downloader) encodes all it's DRM-free tracks with vbr
avg bitrate 256. Did you check to see what bitrates your software is
reporting for the cd's you ripped?
