Finally an example that works! You are a legend

I’ve tried so many times to get the right gstreamer pipeline for CBR using all kinds of examples found on Google. Every time I’d rip again and find that the quality hadn’t changed. Your recommendation did the trick.

Is there a way of changing the bit rate for the aac format? I can only seem to play my Rhythymbox aac files in Linux, not in anything else that plays aac. Not in my Nokia, not in my creative or not in my WMP (with the appropriate plugin). I know they all support aac as i have played aac in them before.

thanks
