I am trying to rip a cdrom to install on an apple ipod 30gb. I went to http://www.acaciaclose.co.uk/31307/41461.html?*session*id*key*=*session*id*v... and tried amarok, but it does not do the id3 tags where cd ripper (sound juicer) does. When I go to Edit, Preferences, and try to select the mp4 or mp3 output formats, there is nothing but FLAC and Ogg which the ipod does not support. I have installed faac ffmpeg, libffmpeg, but that did not help. I have seen on the internet about the ipod with linux, and I do get konqueror to recognize it along with gtkpod (the ipod). Now problem is to get from cdrom to the music repository with idtags and in mp4 format so I can sync it with the ipod. (gtkpod does not recognize the cdrom). Any suggestions or insight on how to do this? Art
