Thanks a lot, sound-juicer is working fine now. i installed an ancient version of gstreamer, including plugins for mp3-support as lame-libs. but i still cannot rip mp3.
I am 37, perhaps i forgotten something ;-) Do you have hints?

You need an audio profile to rip to. Read the manual. From the Sound-juicer help file:
"If you need to store tracks in the MP3 format (for example, because your portable music player only supports MP3 and not Ogg Vorbis), you will need to create a new profile. To do this, run gnome-audio-profiles-properties, press New and name it MP3. Then press Edit and set GStreamer Pipeline to audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc, the File Extenstion to mp3, and check Active. Then start Sound Juicer and select the MP3 format.
This profile uses the LAME MP3 encoder, so you will need to have the GStreamer LAME plugin installed."
Google around for details on setting the bitrate to your desired quality. I'll just stick with grip.

That doesn't sound user-friendly!

Instead of installing an "ancient version of gstreamer including plugins for mp3-support", rebuild missing packages (from src.rpms!) and update them with contents of cvs/svn where possible (e.g. at rpm.livna.org). E.g. for gstreamer-plugins-mp3 you will end up with something like http://home.arcor.de/ms2002sep/tmp/fc4-extras/ but need to add the required LAME, Mad and libid3tag with rebuilt src.rpms from FC3.
Alternatively, just wait until rpm.livna.org and other repos offer builds for FC4.
