While looking for information on this subject, I found in the SuSE Linux 8.0 Applications book (page 45) that I could just enter audiocd:/ in the URL bar of Konqueror. This was also suggested in a thread of the same subject about 3 months ago. I tried it but it didn't work for me. According to the SuSE book, I needed to make myself a member of the disk group so I did that. When I type the audiocd:/ and press enter, nothing at all happens. it doesn't seem to hang, I get no error message. What else is missing? Damon Register

Try it that way: Window - Show navigation panel. Then click on 'Services', the second button from the downside end. Then 'Audio CD Browser'. This will let you copy and paste .wav files directly from the CD to your harddisk. Then run bladeenc on them to convert them to mp3. Cheers ....

Even easier - open a terminal (xterm, console, whatever) and type 'abcde' This converts a CD to ogg (or mp3), and fills in details via CDDB - all automatically. It's easy. It works! Great! Brgds, Tony

sorry for jumping in here but, if he is using 8.1 and has lame installed he will only get wav files and ogg files via the "services" route. I guess this is one of htose results of the DRM cr*pola ... So I have wound up doing ye old drag n drop of wave files convert them ( audacity or some other program ) to mp3s... I wanna try the console suggestions someone made earlier , but will have to wait til next Tuesday.. I'll be out of range, unelss the hotel has a fast conection to the net <G> -- j afterthought: The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can

Why should you appologize? I have 8.0

didn't work for me either. This is really frustrating. Nothing works. I think that those who really know how to make it work are leaving out some important details. With the audiocd method mentioned, nothing at all happens for a long time and then finally I get an error message in Konqueror that says: a error occured while loading audiocd:/ the file or directory / does not exist what seems obvious to me is that regardless of method used, the system or program must know which device is being used. So far I have not heard or seen any mention of that in the SuSE book or on this list. How is Konqueror or any other program supposed to know that I am using /dev/scd0? The console "abcde" method mentioned in another post just gave me "command not found. I don't even see this in the YaST list of programs on the 8.0 DVD. Another person that I had to have lame installed but I don't see that either in the 8.0 DVD list I was able to get Grip to at least recognize the CD by starting with -d /dev/scd0 option but I still can't do anything with it. I looked through all the different tabs but I don't see anywhere that the destination directory is defined. How do I know where the ripped files go? When I click on RIP, it seems to just indicate something below for less than a second and it is gone. At this point I don't care which method I use. I just want something that works and works well. If someone actually has something working, please let me know and please don't just say it's easy; I need to know what are the prerequisites to it being "easy". Damon Register

Why should you appologize? I have 8.0 This was a conversation between Anders and Kevin.. Thanks to both as i've kept this message since..

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.

Or use the precompiled SuSE rpms from ftp.gwdg.de: ftp> pwd 257 "/pub/linux/misc/suser-tcousin/i686/RPMS.Thibaut" is current directory. ftp> ls lame-libs* 227 Entering Passive Mode (134,76,11,100,226,75) 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls. 272971 Nov 18 08:16 lame-libs-3.93-0.20021002.i686.rpm -- Richard

---------------------------- Damon, Go to /dev and find /dev/sg0 and /dev/sg1 and change the owner of those to you the user and leave the group as disk. Those seem to pertain to the AudioCD slave thing. Don't know which drive you are using, but if you have two drives, just reset them both. That should cure your audiocd problem and get you reading the discs. Patrick --- KMail v1.4.3 --- SuSE Linux Pro v8.1 --- Registered Linux User #225206
