Sound Juicer is the GNOME CD ripper

It allows the user to extract audio from compact discs and convert it into audio files that a personal computer or digital audio player can understand and play. It supports ripping to any audio codec supported by a GStreamer plugin, such as mp3 (via LAME), Ogg Vorbis, FLAC and uncompressed PCM formats.

Change Sound Juicer's CD Database

I like sound juicer for ripping CDs, but the cd-database of music brainz is very scrappy compared to freedb.org. I wanted to change the source of the database but unfortunately I didn't find any config-file. Is there any way to change it or not?

Why SoundJuicer and Rythmbox don't allow me to tweak the cd ripping profiles?

I installed an Ubuntu 12.04 server then added only the packages I needed to have a Gnome 3 desktop but something must still be missing. In fact neither Rhythmbox or SoundJuicer allow me to tweak the cd ripping profiles. Any idea what it's missing?
