lil gorsebush penguin Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Ok so I was trying to use GRIP to get some tracks from a cd onto my computer and I accidentally deleted the "encode file format" in the Config / Encode tab (I'm very stupid, I know! ) does anyone know what I'm supposed to type or is this ruined forever??

83mercedes Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Should say this: (it's what mine says, anyway) ~/mp3/%A/%d/%t_%n.ogg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Should say this: (it's what mine says, anyway)~/mp3/%A/%d/%t_%n.ogg Yeah except chasge the last .ogg to .mp3 if you are making .mp3's. Second quesiton though at the risk of looking really DUMB,... I can't find ANY option that encodes mp3 from wav inside GRIP. I can RIP cdaudio to WAV OR RIP cd Audio to wav then converyt to mp3 BUT I can't encode a directory of WAV's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Why not just convert directly? Grip is the gnome ripper. From hd wav to hd (so without any cdrom action) mp3 (ogg), just use the standard encoders; easiest on the cli. (forgot the name, lame I think, whichever it is, it is mentioned in grip) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris:b Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 (edited) From man lame: Fixed bit rate jstereo 128kbs encoding: lame sample.wav sample.mp3 Fixed bit rate jstereo 128 kbps encoding, highest quality (recom- mended): lame -h sample.wav sample.mp3 Just wanted to say that I use a VERY nice app/GUI to encode which is not included in MDK: simplecdrx "makes use of many common CD and audio manipulation tools, namely CDRecord and its accompanying programs, CDRDAO for Disc at Once copying, CD Paranoia, Blade Encode, LAME, OGG Vorbis, MAD MPEG Audio Decoder, and mpg123. SimpleCDR-X also supports on-the-fly CD ripping to MP3 or OGG Vorbis format with no intermediate WAV files." It's great. I have more control over the encoding proces, the id3 tags, it's faster, and it's a burning tool at the same time. Get Thac's rpm's for Mandrake 9.1 and Mandrake 9.2 here: http://rpm.nyvalls.se/utils9.2.html (9.2) http://rpm.nyvalls.se/utils9.1.html (9.1) (It creates a menu item in the section Archiving/Burning ...) Of course you need lame from plf (for mp3) and cdparanoia from the install cd. Edited November 14, 2003 by anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 yeah, I tried the bladeenc from the CLI too. Works great on a single wav->mp3 but I thought there might be a simpler way to do a directory at once ! Guess I can just script it since it takes input from stdin but just surprised the missing link in GRIP.... Like everything is there, just no button!!!! (unless Im really stupid whjich might be the case since someone on this thread said they had donme WAV->MP# with grip) but Im damned if I can find the button!!! Since I changed a significant part of my system (like KDE 3.4, upgraded whole XFree etc) I have been having some uptime problems. Basically it keeps locking up.....(completely) (kernel) I had figured on waiting till 9.2 is available to BUY as opposed to pre-order with the turkey and wait!!! but its becomiong critical. My previous uptime was only interupted by kernel changes (like every 2-3 months) so its annoying the hell outa me its every 1-2 days!!!! (BUT ONLY IN X) Once I fix this i will do the script but this is pressing!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
