Sound Juicer can't extract my CD in MP3 Format!

I've been wondering why Ubuntu's default CD extractor can't extract my music in mp3 format. I remembered... hey Ubuntu is a free software and mp3 is in a way a proprietary format just like AAC and WMV etc. Ok too techie for you? These are the common file extensions that Windows, Mac and other softwares use in labeling music files.

OGG a free music format is readily available but not all player are using it YET!

The thing to do at this point is to go to add/remove and choose all available applications and then look for Ubuntu Restricted Extras. This will enable Ubuntu to use mp3 and other formats not native to it. This option is not checked by default so you might wanna give it a try,
