Change the mp3 bitrate for ripping in K3b [Solved]

[Fitzcarraldo]

I've been using K3b version 1.90.0_rc1 successfully to rip Audio CDs to mp3 files, but despite changing the bitrate to 192 kbps in the K3b Lame Mp3 Encoder plugin settings, K3b was still ripping mp3 files at 128 kbps. I found out that I needed to make another change too:

The default bitrate for ripped mp3 tracks is 128 kbps in K3b. To use a different bitrate, do the following:

Settings > Configure K3b...

Click on Plugins

Click on the spanner next to K3b Lame Mp3 Encoder, and change the bitrate on the Settings tab to 192 (or whatever you want). However, this alone does not have any effect, so also click on the spanner next to K3b External Audio Encoder, click on Mp3 (Lame) in the list of Configured Encoders, click on Edit and insert -b 192 (or whatever bitrate you want) before the -h in the list of lame options.
