I don't rip to mp3 anymore since I don't have an mp3 player and ogg is better, :-). But I used to use LAME (Lame Ain't an Mp3 Encoder) which is quite good. It is available from Christian Marillat. Just add deb http://marillat.free.fr/ unstable main to your apt sources. David -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus.
