[gentoo-user] (OT) A eureka moment!
I just discovered something (I think). Probably everyone else already knew it but didn't tell me. Shame on all of you! Do all audio cd's have the mp3's and ogg files on them also I happened to look at one with konqueror and noticed several files and directories on it. The cd was not mounted (and could not be mounted) but was viewable nontheless. And I could copy a mp3 to my hard disk and play it. Not mountable implies no filesystem so how was I able to view it and copy from it? And if all audio cd's are this way, why do we need to rip them? Just copy the mp3's, or ogg's (or wav's). I am really confused!

Re: [gentoo-user] (OT) A eureka moment!
Don't quote me on this, because, I don't know for sure if it already exists (I do know for sure that not all CDs have mp3s and oggs on them), but it would be perfectly possible to develop a konqueror plug-in that automagically presented your CD tracks to you as mp3's and oggs and ripped them for you, making it look as though these were already on your cd for you.

That's just KDE being KDE. kio_audiocd reads the TOC, looks that up in CDDB/FreeCDDB and generates virtual folders that contain the virtual files representing original wavs, metadata, and metadata-loaded oggs and mp3s. When you move a virtual file to a real folder, it kicks in again to actually generate the data represented by pulling the audio data from the CD (and putting though an encoder and adding tags, as needed). You change change the auto-encoder setting (among other things) under Control Center - Sound Multimedia - Audio CDs. -- If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability. -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh pgpjLDUFpbmtN.pgp Description: PGP signature

It queries CDDB and constructs filenames from this metadata. How these filenames look is configurable, as indicated in one of the earlier posts on this topic. Justin On 5/3/06, Anthony E.
