KDE has this nifty thing called "KIO" -- it's a system that makes audio cds, mailboxes, ftp servers etc look like normal folders. The easiest way to rip CDs under KDE is to punch in 'audiocd:/' into the location bar in Konqueror. There's an 'Ogg Vorbis' directory in there and you can just drag the files out of there and it will encode them on the fly as it writes them to your disk. (as an aside, does anyone know how to ask kio (or gnome-vfs for that matter), what plugins they have available? is there a 'kio:/' or something that lists them all for me?) > 2) what is causing Juk to crash? I can think of two possibilities, but it's hard to say without more information. Either juk is blocking waiting for your sound card to become free, or, your ogg files are broken in some exotic way. Either way it probably shouldn't burn clock cycles like that; it might be worth filing a bug with its authors. Of course, it could be something completely different. I suppose it's also possible that juk is trying to start artsd and failing over and over again (artsd is a program that lets you send multiple sound streams to your sound card. It is supposed to be started up when you log in to KDE). Does the same thing happen in XMMS? You might need to configure XMMS to talk to 'artsd' if you're running it under KDE. I find XMMS to be the most stable of the music players out there, so see if it works there first. HTH, James. -- James Gregory <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
