I posted earlier about adding the Medibuntu repository to this machine. That
problem is now fixed, but Medibuntu didn't fix the original problem.
I have a CD which has previously been ripped to Ogg-Vorbis, although I can't
remember when or how. I have one of the those car MP3 players, that plugs
into the cigarette lighter socket and transmits the music to a spare FM
channel on the radio. The problem is that it doesn't support .ogg, so I tried
ripping the CD to MP3 using K3b and lame.
The problem is that K3b sees the disc OK, successfully retrieves track info
from CDDB, but fails when trying to access the disc with lame. I also get
disc access failures with other tools, such as KsCD, so I think the problem is
the ability to read the disc, rather than writing the MP3s.
I've tried other tools, such as VLC and iTunes, etc on Windows, but one way or
another, I seem to be stymied. Either the tool doesn't support MP3 encoding
(eg, the newer versions of iTunes the Cowan Jet Audio tool on Windows) or
doesn't read the CDDB (eg, Windows Media Player (spit) or VLc on either
platform.
Any ideas, apart from writing the track info by hand?
