rip cd to wav using grip & then convert to ogg: http://www.linux-mag.com/content/view/1785/2194/ (yes, i wrote it) http://linuxreviews.org/howtos/cdrecording/index.html.en#toc10 why not ogg instead of mp3? ogg isn't encumbered by patents, like mp3 is, it sounds great, & almost anything on your linux box will play it. so you wouldn't use lame, you'd use oggenc. if you want the good (re: illegal 'cause of stupid copyright laws & the willingness of congress to bend over for the entertainment cabals) software for multimedia, add the following line to your /etc/apt/sources.list file: # Marillat deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ sid main then: apt-get update then try this: apt-get install libdvdcss2 okle ogle w32codecs mplayer-586 bam! now you can play dvds & most windows-based multimedia. okle is a dvd player for kde; ogle for gnome. mplayer plays everything, including dvds. there's a million other great things from Marillat's repository. too bad our unjust laws make 'em illegal. scott -- R.
