[old stuff deleted] The actual ripping part is the same as with MP3; you use an app that converts the CD tracks into WAV files. The change is at the next step, compressing the WAV files into ogg format instead of MP3. Exactly how you do it probably depends on what is prepackaged for whichever Linux distro you use. I use a "super-app" called abcde, which is just a bunch of wrappers (in Perl, I believe) that runs a series of other apps to download CD info (wget), rip to WAVs (cdparanoia), compress to MP3 (any mp3 encoder) or OGG (oggenc), create a playlist, put the results someplace sensible, and clean up the temporary files. Installing the Debian version of abcde gets all the other stuff installed (thanks to a good dependency system); YMMV on that, depending on your distro. -- -----------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
