Rhythmbox asks for installing MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) encoder when ripping but can play MP3

Originally reported at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348222 Hello. I run ubuntu 14.04 "upgraded" from 13.10, so not a total fresh install. Rhythmbox plays mp3 with no problem but when I try to rip audio CD to mp3 it asks for "MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3) encoder". It searches it for a while and then say it was unable to find the plugin - something related to gstreamer. On this pc Asunder, Banshee or Audacity work as expected when ripping audio CD to mp3. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Output from terminal when trying to rip audio cd : ~$ rhythmbox (rhythmbox:9955): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_css_provider_load_from_path: assertion 'path != NULL' failed (rhythmbox:9955): Json-CRITICAL **: json_object_get_array_member: assertion 'JSON_NODE_HOLDS_ARRAY (node) || JSON_NODE_HOLDS_NULL (node)' failed (rhythmbox:9955): Json-CRITICAL **: json_array_get_length: assertion 'array != NULL' failed (rhythmbox:9955): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: object SoupServer 0x28df1f0 finalized while still in-construction (rhythmbox:9955): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: Custom constructor for class SoupServer returned NULL (which is invalid).

So it maybe not relative to (only) rhythmbox. What may I check ? How compare two installations ?
Why was this bug report filed here if it is handled in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1348222 ?
Is it ? I don't know if it's a "genuine" rhythmbox problem or if the problem occurs because of upgrading from ubuntu 13.10 tu ubuntu 14.04. If you're already aware of this "bug" and think this bug report useless it can be deleted. So what may I do to : - solve this on my pc ? - help ? Best regards
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1348222 is the primary place to discuss the problem and the underlying package dependencies of that system triggering such a dialog - I don't see much advantage in splitting discussion in several places. If a downstream developer (Ubuntu) states that this is an upstream problem (GNOME) this ticket should be reopened.
A year later… …no answer nor comment from launchpad. Nothing new here. Problem still occurs. Any piece of advice very welcome, please ;-)
It seems that sudo apt-get purge rhythmbox gir1.2-rb-3.0 librhythmbox-core5 rhythmbox-mozilla rhythmbox-data rhythmbox-plugin-zeitgeist rhythmbox-plugin-magnatune rhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder librhythmbox-core6 rhythmbox-plugins and then upgrading to RB 3.2.1 from fossfreedom ppa solved my problem. I guess upgrading RB version was not even necessary, just reinstall current RB version from official repo's for Ubuntu 14.04 could be enough. source : https://xpressubuntu.wordpress.com/2015/03/29/new-rhythmbox-3-2-release-for-14-04-14-10-and-15-04/
