lame shows a lot of items, none of which look exactly like what I'm
looking for.

rip cd to wav using grip & then convert to ogg:

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 or anyone,

Is their a way to play ogg files on an iPod? Scott, before you flame me, I did not let one drop of dust out of my wallet. It was a gift.
