Jessica39 Posted May 21, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiver_Fluffi Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 If I were you I would get amarok to rip to mp3 in the first place rather than transcode from ogg to mp3. There is the potential for loss of quality when transcoding between two lossy formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie Posted May 21, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedball2 Posted May 21, 2010 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 As Speedball2 says, to rip an audio CD to the mp3 format using K3b you need lame and liblame0 installed from the PLF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedball2 Posted May 22, 2010 Share Posted May 22, 2010 Assuming Firefox is asking you to open with or save as... open with: add urpmi media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica39 Posted May 22, 2010 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
