You may not have the grip RPM installed. Just open Mandrake Software Manager, search for grip and install it from the CD's. You will also need to install the lame-encoder library before you can rip mp3s. This library is not in the Mandrake distro because it is the subject of a patent. However you can find it here ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/Mandrake-8.2/RPMS Just paste this ftp address into konqueror, click on the file name, select 'Open', and it will be downloaded and installed. Ogg encoding should really be preferred to mp3 because it is 'open source', not subject to a patent, of superior audio quality, and smaller file size. You can even share ogg files with your Windows using friends since the latest version of Winamp supports it. derek > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Alastair Scott" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, July 05, 2002 1:33 PM > Subject: Re: [newbie] encoding mp3s on mandrake ... > > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On Friday 05 July 2002 6:25 pm, Rainer wrote: > > Asked this question previously, with very little detail supplied as a > > response - only what apps could be used. this is a newbie mailing > > list, right? > > > > right now i got ripperX-2.1-1.i386.rpm, will this work on man. 8.2. > > if there is something better, please let me know (and where i can > > find it). once that is settled i, -ivh the rpm from the command line? > > i can then find it where, /bin ? from there i can make a shortcut to > > the desktop? this is a gui app, i'm told, is it pretty > > straightforward to use for someone coming from windows and musicmatch > > or is there something i should know. the 'how to' made it seem pretty > > simple? > > There's probably a better application installed by default - look in the > K menu for What to do | Enjoy music & video | Rip a CD.
