This subject has been here two or three times before. The solution is to set proper permissions on /dev/sg* (i.e. sg0, sg1 or whichever your ide-scsi is using), and if it still doesn't work and you have liblame installed, upgrade to the latest liblame. Older versions cause audiocd to segfault
Sorry, Anders - I obviously don't know what I'm talking about! Your advice was enough to get it working. For others, the steps are as follows (this is on a stock 7.3 install, with an ordinary IDE CD-drive, no ide-scsi in effect): 1. Find out the device to which your CD-drive points - in my case, this was /dev/hdc. 2. As root, run: chmod 777 /dev/hdc (This opens up access to the drive entirely, which may not be advisable in all cases). 3. Go to rpmfind.net, and search for libmp3lame. Download lame-libs-3.89-1.i386.rpm. Use YaST or the console to install this. (You do not need to do this if you are going to use ogg format - the existing setup will rip the tracks as oggs without anything further. However, sw as supplied with earlier SuSE versions (eg 7.2) seems to have difficulties playing oggs - noatun segfaults, and xmms just sits there.) 4. Put a CD in the drive, and open Konq. Under Services, click on Audio CD Browser. Go to the MP3 folder, and select the track(s) you want to rip. Drag them to, eg, the desktop. The track will be ripped into an mp3. 5. As Avi said, "you can control the MP3 conversion settings (bit rate, etc.) from the KDE Control Center>Sound>Audiocd IO Slave>MP3 Settings." Thanks again Anders. This is obviously a candidate for Togan's FAQ. Kevin
