After I did 'sudo apt-get install gstreamer*' all my gui sound apps were 
able to save to .mp3 format. For example, audacity can now save to .mp3. 
I also installed audio-convert and soundconvertor and both those apps 
work but I guess I don't need them now because of gstreamer. I'm 
sticking her Gospel CDs in the CD drive, Sound Juicer auto-opens (and 
now has /mp3 save capability). I rip the songs to /home/chris/Music, 
then I drag the .mp3's onto /media/PEARL (when the /mp3 thumb drive is 
plugged into the USB port) in nautilus and it's working like a charm. 
I'm keeping this email though for future reference.
 Thanks,

Chris
