 To answer the original question, I added 
 
 ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main 
 
 as a repository. It has a bunch of multimedia related packages that can't go
 in Debian for legal reasons.

OK I have this repository.  I installed gstreamer-mad and this is
installed.  I need mp3 for iriver n10 for daugther.

sound-juicer locked up nicely when I selected mp3 and it was not
installed.  There is nothing obvious on the suggested packages pages.

help...

I see this thread only now so I might have took the wrong turn here
but if the question is about compressing mp3 files then have you tried
lame?  It seems to be the tool everything else relias on for this job
(e.g. Audacity, cd rippers etc.)

Not obvious but sound-juicer only works for mp3 if you explicitly
install liblame0 then it is all good.

I cannot connect to the iriver yet?  Not  a standard usb drive.

The CD/MP3 player from iRiver (the iMP-550: 
http://www.iriver.com/product/info.asp?p_name=iMP-550) doesn't support 
ogg  otherwise I'd already have one :)

I took a multi-session CDR with CD Audio, OGG, Flac, and MP3 tracks on it in 
for a test (Fletchers Photographics, Pitt St, Sydney - they're across the 
road from my office :) and it only found the CD Audio tracks and the MP3 
files.  According to iRiver it only supports MPEG 1/2/2.5 Layer 3, WMA, and 
ASF.  But AFAIK all their hard-drive and NVRAM based players support OGG.

Cheers,

James

Perhaps, but the support is only listed on their website for the 700+800
models (of all the models I checked, anyway).

I use LAME. (It isn't in Debian proper due to the Fraunhofer patent
madness.)

This link explains it quite nicely:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2000/12/msg04123.html

These days, I will usually encode to OGG, if I'm not sending off to
someone with Windows Media Player.
