Sound Juicer - Increasing mp3 ripping quality

Complex interface, but once you get to the profile edit screen, just replace the mp3 profile with the following line if you want to encode using a 320 kbit/s quality.  Keep the rate to 44100 if you are ripping a CD, since that is the sample rate at which CDs are created (more would be overkill).

audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc mode=0 vbr=0 bitrate=320 ! id3v2mux

Sound Juicer is a free music ripper software product for Linux.
Only rip music you have the legal right to.

To learn more about compression and the mp3 architecture check Wikipedia, they have a great primer on it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3
