It also has lots of configuration options, you can define the bitrate of the mp3's, all the information that goes in the id3 tag, the format of the filename, and it also creates a m3u playlist! You can also determine the nice leval, max number of encoding processes, and many other performance options. I use it even for playing audio cd's, it has a nice interface. If you use GNOME, it also gets integrated into it, since it uses GTK. For CD ripping and encoding, I see no option: cdparanoia and lame, the perfect combination. -- []'s, francisco m neto

I tried searching the package list but there was nothing obvious, only players it seemed. The short answer is you can't. Not because Debian cares a whistle if you own the CDs or not, but because the MP3 codec is patented by Fraunhofer in .de. There are many utilities that'll rip CDs to ogg/vorbis format, which isn't patented, but that doesn't help you use them elsewhere. You may want to try building lame from source.

I've got a perl script I wrote, It forks a process to do the rip to a wave file, then forks children to encode that while it forks another child to do the next wave. It uses the cddb to do naming.

Re: Ripping MP3s
Hi, Can anyone recommend any package for creating mp3s from CDs (yes, I do own them :) under Debian? I tried searching the package list but there was nothing obvious, only players it seemed. cdparanoia to extract the audio from the cd. LAMEend to encode to mp3. You will need to get this from the web. Head to google for locations. Encode at at least 192k VBR or it sounds like poo over anything other than computer speakers. There are some wrapper perl scripts floating around to do this all automagically too (including getting track names from cddb if you want). Search on google. I think theres a gnome app called grip too? For bonus points you might also like to recommend a sound card, as I'm not sure that mine (Yamaha WF192XG) works too well (or at all) using GPL-type software. Have you tried Alsa? If yes, and it didnt work, then good working, tested cards are as follows:- a) reasonable: Sound Blaster Live Value (cheap) b) proper: M-Audio Delta Audiophile (expensive) I have b as it uses twin RCA jacks straight into the back of my amp, but most people dont need that. It's worked floorlessly though and doesnt downsample like emu chips do! The Delta card has a 103dB SNR ratio so it doesnt hiss like the SBlives.

Re: Ripping MP3s
apt-get install ripperx (I don't think it is Potato) rip ogg files at 160 with varaiable bitrate smaller and sounds better then mp3s all the software that comes with Debian can play them and no legal issues. :). All in all a good thing Ripperx can also use lame and there are some unofficial debs out there.
