 Hmm. Last time I tried that one it was hard coded to use a different glibc

 will give it another try with Mandrake 7.2.

OK, reinstalled the Music Match software. Upon running the supplied shell 
script (mmjb) I get two lines about not being able to stat /mnt/floppy and 
/mnt/cdrom, which is OK since I don't have those things mounted. Then it sits 
for about a few minutes, and without giving any output, it just ends and goes 
back to the prompt. If I look at the system in another window using ps etc. I 
can tell that a few processes get created by this but they stay in sleep mode 
for the duration.

I filled out a problem report with the MusicMatch people.

 Grip is good... ;-)

ripperX with lame and cdparanoia is better, IMO best ;)

What is a good mp3 encoder to use?




Re: [newbie] MP# encoder?

2001-01-06 Thread Mark Hillary

Try Lame, it does only come in source code though so you will need to
complie it. It is the best mp3 encoder for linux. You could also use ogg
vorbis, which creates a bit bigger files than mp3 but they are better
quality. It is also completly free, unlike mp3 which are patented. Both of
these are command line programs so you will probably what a nice GUI, the
one I use is called grip. It comes with mandrake 7.2. So does ogg vorbis.

If you don't have 7.2 go to freshmeat an search for grip. Got to the home
page, download grip, futher down the page is a list of links of encoders
that work with it, both lame and ogg vorbis are listed.

Hope this helps
BTW I use ogg's.

I use grip as frontend and bladeenc as encoder. Works fine!

I'm a bladeenc fan too. Another one you'll have to install from source,
but that's not hard to do. I use ripperX for my frontend -- probably just
a bias because a friend was involved in some of the coding on it. ;) But
it's nice -- does the CDDB lookup, ripping and encoding with lots of
configurable options. The grip program recommended probably does as well.

Look for all of these on freshmeat.net for ease of finding them all. You
can usually put in just the titles as we've given them. Of course, you can
also put in a keyword like mp3 and explore all the zillions of
possibilities. :))

Im a big fan of bladeenc from the command line...I'm pretty sure the
version I have is .92

Actually, you can get a mandrake specific bladeenc RPM at rpmfind.net...
