I shall try ripping/burning a few tommorow. :) well, lame is jam-packed full of options for advanced users, but supposed using the -r3mix parameter is a really good compromise between quality and ease-of-use. the author justifies his views and the -r3mix settings at (surprise surprise) www.r3mix.net and i must admit, i'm sold. hope this helps Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

That seems very odd if I'm right. FF Heather, repeat after me: MP3 is technically _not_ open source, has been for years a freely licensed proprietary compressed audio format, but the patent holder has the right to change that at anytime. Think license fees. Per copy. Or even per use if they can prove it. The old software models are broken, all the software companies that have no true innovation to offer are going to milk what they have for all they're worth. Maybe the bone heads should stop playing with models and concentrate on business? Just a thought. Ogg is open source, free (speech and beer both) there are plug-ins for most of the newest PDAs and multi-media phones and even players for Windows, the Apple portable players are now available even though they're outrageously expensive, and others are coming on the market before Christmas. Cheaper ones. OK? Ogg also gives a better reproduction than mp3. It just sounds better to me. You can encode MP3 from CDA format, you just need the right tools. The plug-ins are available for most of the rippers on the disks you have and the KDE (KAudiocreator) app actually gives you a choice of Ogg or MP3. I just looked. Grip does as well as far as I know, just look in the config tab for encoder and decide which you like. I've used it both ways, works brilliantly. Hint, mine shows lame, bladeenc, a few others, mp3 and ogg. Scrape yourself off the ceiling and actually *look* at the tools you have at hand kid, you can do this.

Once you have lame installed ( check you don't already, by doing in a
terminal,
rpm -qa | lame and see what it says. I think you will find it already
installed) install the attatched bash script wav2mp3 somewhere the
system can find it like /usr/bin, or /usr/local/bin and follow the
instructions in wav2mp3command file attatched.
This script has ripped and encoded to mp3 for me, not that I use it much
, it's just to get my daughters .wav files on their CD's onto their mp3
mobile players, so much more stable than those mobile CD players, or so
they tell me. I only play CD's myself and don't store any music on my
hard drive.

Sound is in a world all its own, independent of OSes. And in the sound world Ogg is king--end of story. Ogg files are fully supported in WinAmp, and encoders are freely available in the doze world. They may not be popular, but it's still best. Check out the Ogg Vorbis win32 encoder, which you can get from download.com. The only vote against it is because the encoding process is slow. As for ripping in Linux, use Grip to make Ogg files. Miark Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Still, you could rip and encode them with Grip into ogg, then use other software to convert them to mp3. I know thats round about, and it would be better for someone who needed it to convert straight to mp3 in the first place. I didn't know that was the requirement they were looking for - hadn't seen it mentioned in this thread. I just thought they wanted to get it onto their hard drives. -- /\ DarkLord \/ Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I'm in the market and have been looking at the machines by iriver. Supposedly they are going to be offering a firmware upgrade to provide vorbis support, but I cannot find anything new on the status of this. -- /g Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read -Groucho Marx Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
