Well after a long day I have finally managed to successfully rip and
encode .mp3 files from audio CDs. True..it's no big deal..but it was my first
successfull attempt at downloading and installing a non SuSE .rpm, playing
with a perl script and burning .mp3 files.
I was able to encode individual .wav files with ripit.pl but really wanted to
do so direct from an audio CD with the KDE application KAudioCreator.
To do this I first downloaded the encoder: notlame-3.70-1.i386.rpm to my
desktop...use a Google search to find.
Right clicking the downloaded .rpm file brought up a menu window which gave me
the option :Actions and. sub-menu: Install the file with YaST..which I duly
did to ensure my configuration settings were correctly maintained.
Then, opening the KAudioCreator I selected: Settings : Configure KAudioCreator
and then :Encoder to allow KAudioCreator to use the notlame encoder.
Adding the notlame encoder to the list of possible encoders the following
input options were made:
Current Encoder: notname
Name: notlame
Command Line: notlame --tt %{title} --ta %{artist} --tl %{albumtitle} --ty
%{year} --tn %{number} --tg %{genre} %f %o
Extension:mp3
Encoded File Location: ~/%{extension}/%{albumartist}/%{albumtitle}/%{artist} -
%{title}.%{extension}
The above put the ripped and encoded mp3 files into my /home/mp3/artist/album
title....
...watch the character spacing for those input options!!
Hope this is of assistance to someone....
