12.3 Hi I'm converting some music CD's for my 'phone using Sound Juicer. It's fine for rock/pop but poor for classical tracks.
I can't see why the quality would differ between different music types, although cheap/damaged CDs and/or copy protection can have an effect.
I notice sound juicer will only write ogg. It says mp3 and mp4 output is not available.
Qns. 1. Would I gain by converting to mp3 or mp4 instead?
Only portability, but ogg is (in my experience) superior to mp3
2. If so what else do I need?
You need the multimedia packages from the packman repo
3. How about the quality? Any advice on an app which may be better than sj? I'd rather stick to point and click but I don't mide cli if that's the only way I can up the quality.
There must be quality options in the sj settings - ogg has a simple 0 to 6 quality parameter which hides the details of bitrates etc if you're not familiar with them. I use asunder myself, but there is also grip, which is very detailed and configurable.
Thanks. I ask because Ubuntu seems to have a google stranglehold on anything multimedia in Linux:(
