Tech Tip!
Converting CD Tracks to Other Audio File Types
Want to listen to your favorite CD tracks on your HDD, MP3 player
or any
other electronic gadgets? One simple command in Konqueror
quickly converts
each track to five different file types -- CDA, FLAC, MP3, Ogg
Vorbis and
WAV. In addition, you will have the option of recording the full
CD as one
file in any of those five audio file types. One more thing, the
command
gives you a text file with information about the CD such as Disc
ID, Disc
Title, Disc Year, Disc Genre, Track Titles, Extra Disc and Track
Title Info,
and finally Play Order. What is this command? Simply type
"audiocd:/" in
the Location Field of Konqueror and hit Enter.

Services...it should go in From the Field, but we want to get all
of your
great tech tips out into circulation!
NOTE: Though everything above is true there are a few
prerequisites. To be
able to encode libogg, lame and flac formats, the respective
codecs for them
need to be installed on your system. The files are encoded when
you drag
and drop them into a directory on your hard disk. This tip is
very handy
for finding the song names of tracks and ripping a few tracks but
for
ripping a large number of CDs I reccomend using KAudioCreator,
which also
comes with KDE. More information can be found at:
