There are no supported free encoders in gNewSense. Because they can not be legally distributed globally Ubuntu relegates them to Multiverse, which is not carried over to gNewSense.
While I understand that some people are technologically illiterate, as you say, perhaps this person is not Freedom illiterate. If the restrictions on the MP3 format are explained to them, perhaps they're reconsider using a sub-optimal format. You could then show them http://playogg.org which will help them find a better audio alternative. :) -Kevin On 7/11/07, andrei raevsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Dear friends, I am badly in need of a mp3 encoder. Its not my choice, its something I need to edit mp3 files with Audacity and them re-save them as mp3s. For myself, I only use ogg, but the person I need to send these files to is on Windows and, logically, totally computer-illiterate. I cannot just tell them to install an ogg plugin to whatever player they uses (probable Windows Media Player for all I know). Isn't there a free mp3 encoder out there? After all, a free encoder could be used to encode into a non-free format, no? Of course, I can use a Ubuntu live CD, but I really would prefer doing it all with gNewSense. Any suggestions, Andrei _______________________________________________ gNewSense-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnewsense-users
