Jessica39 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 I use Mandriva 2010.0. And I love it. Its very easy to use. I've only been using it for about a month and I dont plan to ever go back to Windows. Anyways I have Amarok version 2.2.0. I have a Sony MP3 player model #NWZ-S615F. When putting music from a cd into Amarok it puts in in ogg format. And when I try to add the music in ogg format to my mp3 player obviously it wont go on the mp3 player. My question is what do I need that will convert ogg to mp3.

willie 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 If i'm correct are on a music cd several folders like ogg, mp3, wave, etc just put the contents of the mp3 folder on your harddisk and load it in amarok. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedball2 1 Report post Posted May 21, 2010 First you'll have to click on 'Easy URPMI' at the top of this page and add PLF Medias. Once that's done, install lame. Lame does the mp3 encoding on Linux. To rip a cd try K3B, KAudioCreator, Audex or Gnormalize. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedball2 1 Report post Posted May 22, 2010 Assuming Firefox is asking you to open with or save as... open with: add urpmi media. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica39 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2010 It is Firefox it asks me to open with and to choose an application. There is nothing listed and I click choose. Then it takes me to a box that shows different folders: Search, recently used, Jessica, Desktop, File system, documents, music, pictures, videos, downloads. how do I find the add urpmi media I did type add urpmi media in the Search option and nothing happened. thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
