Dustpuppy Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I have finally given in to my inner geek (ahem) and bought a cheap and cheerful mp3 player. Mandrake 10 recognised it fine, so the task now is to begin ripping my cd collection to mp3 so that I can take it with me. Which program is best to do this? I'm running KDE.

chris:b Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 kaudiocreator # urpmi kdemultimedia-kaudiocreator It's on your install cd's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidzoo Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I like ripperX I think no matter which mp3 ripper you choose, you will need the lame plugin from plf. Head over to http://urpmi.org/easyurpmi to add a plf source then urpmi lame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I like the Grip; it's on the install cds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustpuppy Posted June 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Thankyou! I installed lame and am currently ripping with KAudioCreator. This may take some time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
william Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 my vote goes to Grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Manta_Prox2 Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 ripperX gets my vote. Kaudio was way too slow using LAME. ripperX flys in comparision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 haven't tried ripperX but I presume it uses a library codec ... GRIP gets my vote and can be configured for many different codecs.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Another vote for Grip ;) Oh, and if your "mp3" player can do ogg - then I recommend that format over mp3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 It's grip for me. It's more configurable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 If one ripper is slow and another is fast, since they're _all_ just frontends, that likely just means that the slow one is doing error correction by default and the fast one isn't. Error correction is definitely something you want to do. Personally I use goobox these days...gstreamer pipelines, no-brainer interface.

Obsidian Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 (edited) Yeah, but for me...I have a 400mhz AMD K6-2...I don't want it to take two hours to rip one cd. So, fast is the way to go for me. I installed ripperX w/ Lame and it's going a load faster than KAudioCreator did. I'm pleased.
