[Bug 121845] CD ripping into a artist/album directory hierarchy is nearly impossible

[tmp]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

In order to convert my entire CD collection to mp3, I would like to store all ripped mp3-files in a artist/album hierarchy. Automatically!
A very simple task but nevertheless nearly impossible on a fresh Kubuntu Feisty install:

* If I just open the audio cd in konqueror there is a WAV and an OGG dir but no mp3-dir. Why is the mp3-codec not installed as default?
 
* With the mp3 codec installed, the mp3-folder does only contain the very mp3-files. Not an artist/album directory hierarchy, so I have to make this myself. A total no-go if you are about to rip a ton of CDs.

* When right clicking on the Audio CD icon on the desktop and selecting
Extract Digital Audio with k3b, it (k3b) says that an mp3 encoder has to
be installed and gives a very technical instruction on how to do this.
If I have no mp3-encoder installed, why am I presented to the Extract
Digital Audio with k3b option in the first place?

* Installing KAudioCreator (manually!) gives me yet another option but
not even here can I proceed without making a bunch of complicated
modifications: There is still no mp3-encoding available and in order to
configure e.g. encoding bitrate I have to manually edit an argument text
string.

All in all: ripping a CD into mp3 in kubuntu feisty with a natural
artist/album directory hierarchy is not a job for a non-techie.
