Hi Terry,

Does lame give any diagnostics when k3b calls it?

Can you still rip that CD to ogg? What about a different CD that you
may have recently ripped successfully? IOW, try something to ensure
it's a problem with this particular CD plus MP3 and not a new problem
with either the drive or this particular CD. Any chance it's accessing
the wrong optical drive?
It's been ages since I've done it, but I used to use
cdparanoia --batch --abort-on-skip
to rip .wav from /dev/cdrom. The -d option can specify another drive.
It would at least show there's no issue with the CD or drive. You could
append a `3' to rip just track 3 to save time.
Cheers,
Ralph.
