[newbie] Grip on Mandrake 10

2004-07-18 Thread SME Server Admin
Hi Folks

Whats the setup to get Grip to rip CDs to MP3?

At the moment I've got the encoding setup to oggenc because all the others 
wont work :(

Others tried are: gogo, mp3encode, xingmp3enc, l3enc, lame, bladeenc

For mp3encode for example I've got the following settings

Encoder Command Line: -p 2 -l 3 -b %b %w %m
Encoder File Format: ~/mp3/%A/%d/%t_%n.ogg

If it's encoding to MP3 surely the extention of the file format should be mp3 
not ogg?

The error message I get is Invalid Encoder Executable Check your encoder 
config

Which is where I am stuck. 

Help!

MandrakeSoft can't package mp3 encoders due to licensing restrictions,
so you'll have to download and install an mp3 encoder like lame. If you
add plf to your urpmi sources I think you can get lame and other mp3
encoders.

If you don't need the tunes for a portable player, I'd recommend
sticking with ogg anyway; it's better and free.

Ahh, I see :) Thanks for telling me...

Ok. Winamp can cope with OGG can't it?!?  Down the line I'm planning on 
getting an iRiver HP 120/130/140 whatever and that does OGG

! do you have lame installed  if not do you have plf as a urpmi source
if you do  then as root # urpmi lame
otherwise  go to  http://freshmeat.net/projects/lame/   and get the tarball
afterinstalling run updatedb and update-menus (as root)
