Rhythmbox provides no method of creating mp3 file

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.

Have you already installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? This package allows you to select MP3 as a audio output format for ripping your cd.

Please tell us if ubuntu-restricted-extras solved your problem. Thank you.

 No I haven't installed that before.
 I see it's available in Add/Remove channels, have installed it and it's working nicely.
Thank you.

Status in “rhythmbox” source package in Ubuntu: New

Bug description:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox

The only file formats available that I've found in preferences to rip CD
audio to is FLAC, OGG, WAV and Speex none of which are supported by any normal
music players. I clicked the edit button and found a nice looking menu that
mentions mp3 but gives me no way to apply it to the file output. I'd like to
know if I missed something. Or if there is a fix on the way to create mp3 files.
