The short answer is you can't. Not because Debian cares a whistle if you own the CDs or not, but because the MP3 codec is patented by Fraunhofer in .de. There are many utilities that'll rip CDs to ogg/vorbis format, which isn't patented, but that doesn't help you use them elsewhere. You may want to try building lame from source. >For bonus points you might also like to recommend a sound card, as >I'm not sure that mine (Yamaha WF192XG) works too well (or at all) >using GPL-type software. > >Thanks, >Gary, soon getting some RF headphones and wants to turn his computer >into a jukebox :-D > >Get your own FREE E-mail address at http://www.linuxfreemail.com >Linux FREE Mail is 100% FREE, 100% Linux, and 100% yours! > > > -- Sacred cows make the best burgers Who is John Galt?
