[[and no, i didn't steal this disc. i own tape and cd and just want to transfer it in Ogg-Vorbis fmt and listen to it here where i live for 17hrs/day. No need to justify. Here's an inspiration for what you could put into a script - a simple converter for audio CD to OGG/Vorbis: dd bs=2352 if=/dev/acd0t01 | oggenc -q 6 -r -o track01.ogg Of course, if you want to add information (like album, interpret etc.), you can use those additional options, explained in the manual (man oggenc). You can use cdcontrol info to find out how many tracks to process, and then iterate automatically to put all tracks into one directory, in ogg format. No big deal. Of course, it's helpful when you maintain a good directory and file naming convention for your files, rather than track01.ogg and so on. It makes finding a specific peace of music more easy if file names correspond to what you hear when you play it. :-) i've tried to play it with kmplayer, with amaroK. zip. i've tried sound-juice and get the fatal error that there are no CD-ROM drives. a few releases ago i used sound-juicer to transfer [and play] tunes. no mo'. Why not first try the obvious solution? # cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play You can define CDROM (or CDPLAYER?) environmental variable to omit the -f device parameter. ps: if there is a new utility to play audio cd's running 7.3, i haven't heard! The system brings cdcontrol. For X, why not use XMMS, or if you want a simple solution that just works, try xcd. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

For one thing, your user-id, or a group you belong to needs to have read/write access to the relevant CD device. My solution is to create a group called 'cdrom', and add my user-id to that group. Both is accomplished with pw(8). I have the following in my /etc/devfs.conf: # Give members of group cdrom access to the CD/DVD-ROM and DVD+RW via the # SCSI interface own xpt0root:cdrom permxpt00660 own cd0 root:cdrom permcd0 0660 own cd1 root:cdrom permcd1 0660 linkcd1 cdrom linkcd1 dvd Since my user-id is a member of the cdrom group, I can use these devices freely. If you are using the standard 'atapicd' driver instead of the SCSI emulation 'cd' driver your CD device might be acdX instead of cdX. I prefer to use the SCSI emulation, since cdrecord (which is required by k3b, I think) likes talking to SCSI devices, but not ATA. I've built a custom kernel that only has the cd device and not atapicd, so there cannot be a conflict between the two. I don't know what happens on a GENERIC kernel that has both devices. Maybe there is a tunable that determines which device driver gets access? To produce sound you need to to load the appropriate sound driver. See sound(4). Additionally, I like to start a sound server like esd (audio/esound port). Audacious can use that for output.

Playing Ogg Vorbis files with Audacious
I just installed the package for the audio player audacious and I discovered that it won't recognize ogg vorbis files. I installed the audacious-plugins package, but I don't see any vorbis plugins in the file list, so has it been moved to some other port? I am running an amd64 version of 7.3 release, and it's ports system uses audacity version 2.2. I tested the .ogg file with ogg123 and the file is good. Thanks for any information on how I can get this to work. -- Carl Johnsonca...@peak.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
