I installed a couple of days ago Ubuntu 12.10 (64 bit).

I today tried ripping a CD in the MP3 format.

However, whenever I try to rip, it says it is missing an extra multimedia plugin "Gstreamer extra plug-ins (i386)".

I then try to install the :i386 version of the gstreamer-ugly plugins, but then I get the same problem but with the id3-demuxer (or something similar)

The Terminal output I get from both problems (but replace the "MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) encoder" with the "ID3-demuxer" name) is:

james@clefairy:~$ rhythmbox

(rhythmbox:24122): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_unref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed
Rhythmbox-Message: Missing plugin: gstreamer|0.10|rhythmbox|MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) encoder|encoder-audio/mpeg, mpegversion=(int)1, layer=(int)3
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed import gobject._gobject

It doesn't help that each time I have to install/remove the entire Gstreamer-ugly collection each time - I can't find that specific file.

The CD plays fine, it's the ripping plugin that doesn't seem to work.

I didn't have this problem previously on 12.04 (64 bit).

Have a look at mc4man's post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2080739. Looks like we need to use a custom setting. Worked for me.

Try installing Synaptic and then install gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse If it still doesnt work i would recommend installing LAME (mp3 encoding front-end)

I suggest using Synaptic, simply because it tends to do better at installing technical items

Open synaptic, install libmp3lame0 then reboot. You should now be able to rip to mp3 after starting Rhythmbox

Dunno if you're still having this issue but I've used dagrab for grabbing tracks and lame for mp3 encoding. I made a rip-script years ago that I recently re-wrote as I suddenly needed to rip loads of CDs.. It runs fine on my ubuntu 12.04 64-bit. I've not added any uninstall menu-option yet and the PROXY settings don't work with the cddget (perl) I use nowadays BUT otherwise.. it seems to work fine https://github.com/OlaAronsson/nenRip

After getting the missing extra multimedia plugin "Gstreamer extra plug-ins (i386)" pop-up and a dependency error after accepting recommended install of gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly (i386) the problem went away once I cleared the user configs by removing files under ~/.local/share/gstreamer-1.0/presets
