+Common Problems
+===============
+
+"Sound Juicer doesn't start, it can't find a plugin to access the CD drive!"
+
+You need the GStreamer cdparanoia plugin.  Most distributions should ship this
+with GStreamer, if you built it youself check you have the cdparanoia headers
+installed.
+
+"I cannot encode to MP3!"
+
+To encode to MP3 you need the GStreamer Lame plugin.  Most distributions don't
+ship this due to patents and licence fees, so you will have to build lame
+yourself, and then rebuild gstreamer-plugins.
+
+"How do I set the quality?"
+
+Patience is a virtue.  One day, soon, I shall implement quality selection with
+the new Audio Profiles code in gnome-media 2.6. This will also remove the format
+checkboxes.

 Musicbrainz 2.0.1 is required. It should be a 10 minute hack to make
 it work for 2.0.0, and maybe even for 1.1.0.
