Mandriva 2008 Spring XFCE Edition

[hans796]

Hi guys..

 

I downloaded XFCE version and must say I was impressed by the look, feel and how fast it goes on my machine.

 

I've lately used debian most of the time (good distro by the way) but have now decided to use this one as my multimedia player. My second computer is connected to my stereo and that one is connected to a rather old soundworks 4.0.

 

I tried to get multimedia codecs and that stuff but couldn't find them in the repositories.

 

I need the following:

 

FLAC

Vorbis-tools

lame

liblame0

faac

win32codecs

 

and maybe

gstreamerplugins0.10

monkeys-audio (yes got that working in debian)

 

Reason for these req is that i have lots of CD's and DVD's with flac and ape files I want to convert to mp3 due to HD space limitations. And no I don't want to use Amarok scripts..

 

Give me a hint or some tips to make this work and I will be a Mandriva user again..

 

Looking forward to your answers and tips..

Have you set your softwaresources with Easy-Urpmi you need the PLF- and PLF-nonfree sources.

If you're using the gui package manager: Don't forget in the top-left of your package manager is a dropdown box, set it to 'All' (if you haven't already done so), so you can see 'all' of the packages.
