erniev Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I have read a few posts on MP3 format and the need for Lame - when using KaudioCreator to create MP3 files - I was unsuccessful and had a pop up message referring to LAME - could some one advise how I find/install LAME? thank you erniev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Click on the "Easy-Urpmi" link above and follow the directions for adding the additional mandriva software repositories to your urpmi database. The lame packages are in the plf repos IIRC along with a lot of other packages that mandriva can't distribute for legal reasons like win32 codecs. Once the repos are set up the packages you need will be visible in mcc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erniev Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Thank you pmpatrick, I went to easy-urpmi - and the plf section - but to be honest I'm lost - tried mcc but could not find any thing to do with lame .... I am sure I am not doing something that should be done but what it is I do not know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Batson Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Make sure in MCC's "Install & Remove Software" that you have the leftmost button set to "All" and not to the default "Packages with GUI". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David, Thank you that sorted my problem - Now If I could ask another question - having created some mp3 files - how do I now copy them to my mp3 player. I get as far as connecting the USB cable but then I am lost - I cannot find the mp3 player on the desktop and my Linux knowledge is such that I would not know where to look in the folders. Is there something I should be doing that will allow me to view the mp3 players and copy files to it? My mp3 player is a Sopny Walkman NWZ-A818 I will submit this new request as a new topic Thank you ernie Edited September 17, 2008 by erniev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Batson Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Glad you got over at least one hurdle. :) Sorry, I don't have answers regarding your MP3 player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) Is the player an mtp device? If it is, then even windows do not mount it as a regular drive (it just appear as a device in windoze explorer, but without a drive letter assigned. I guess it is (I don't have one), because reading comments on the net anyone says that syncing is done using Windows Media Player 10+ (which does support MTP devices). If it is, you need to install libmtp, and some sort of frontend (gnomad2, amarok, banshee, mtpfs... whatever you like).
