Hi All I have a number of .wav files on my HD and like to convert them to .mp3 or .ogg. ( for obvious reason). Is there an easy program available under SUSE to do this?

The 9.1 Profession distribution includes the package "vorbis-tools," which includes "oggenc". It also includes the package "lame," which can create mp3 files.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks for that. I have that all installed but how do I go from here? How do I start this program? Any idea? -- Remember:"Love is Hate. War is Peace.

Just the usual. Both "lame" and "oggenc" have man pages. Use apropos to find about about other Ogg- and MP3-related utilities. Note that "apropos ogg" will get several false hits, but you can either sort through them manually or use "grep" to apply a more refined filter to the results. Ogg encoding is relatively simple, in that the preferred means to control it is with a "quality factor." LAME is another story, if I recall. Both of the formats (and their respective tools) have other options, e.g., relating to things like tags and both appear to have some options or variations relating to the acceptable input file types and parameters. I'd just experiment if I were you. That's how I originally figured it all out. (I put my entire CD collection onto my MP3 player a few months back, but it's not large and I don't actively collect new CDs, so my memory of the details is vague. Also, at the time I was still using Windows, though the core of the relevant utilities is the same, I think, at least the ones I used.) Good luck. Randall Schulz

You can download a rpm of the current version of the NotLame MP3 Encoder from http://www.eleceng.adelaide.edu.au/Personal/csanders/not_lame/. The blurb on the website says the rpm is for RH9/SuSE9, but I have installed it on SuSE 8.2 and it runs just fine. There are several graphical frontends available, if it is that what you are looking for. On KDE, KAudioCreator can extract tracks from your CD and encode them with oggenc or lame/notlame. I do my encoding from the command line, though. Andreas Philipp

Thanks Andreas but this is not what I'm looking for. I know how to rip the .wav files from a CD. I want to convert existing .wav files on my HD to OGG or Mp3. -- Remember:"Love is Hate. War is Peace.

the easy way is use oggenc from the command line man oggenc is quite good on the odd occaision i have found .wav files to put the squeeze on normally straight fom CD via GRIP .. using oggenc . i gave up on mp3 lame has a habbit of getting lame and making a mess of things i have found so ogg was very welcome . -- Linux user No: 256242 Machine No: 139931 G6NJR Pete also MSA registered "Quinton 11" A Linux Only area Happy bug hunting M$ clan PGN
