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?

'pourquoi faire complique, quand on peut faire tres complique' thanks. Oh I understand now. You have a Powerpack dont you? Grip and a whole lot of other useful and not so useful packages got omitted from the powerpacks. The download edition is fine. Mandrake claim it was in order to fit more useful stuff on, but in reality it was a screw up. You can find an online CD image here http://www.mandrakeforum.org/article.php?sid=2274lang=en which has all the missing packages on it. Alternatively you can add any missing packages you need from www.rpmfind.net Trouble is you will not know what is missing if you do not already know they exist...

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? thanks.
