Are you trying to use an audio CD or a CDROM with mp3 files on it? GRIP will only (IIANM) read audio CD's. You should mount a CDROM as normal, then just copy the files...

KsCD plays cds fine rob This is an audio cd, as far as I can tell, GRIP does the mounting... GRIP is saying "disk not detected" From what I gather (GRIP docs) insert a CD the tracks appear, you select t he track and then choose rip. Apparently GRIP is alos a player, but again it dosnt see my drive.

Good Morning all

I trying to make MP3s from CDROMs. IM not sure what program to use (which is the most popular)... IVe found GRIP online and included on the install cds.

My problem is GRIP reports "no disk detected" There wasnt much in the grip docs except "the user needs access to the device" Ive changed perms in the propertices but still dosnt see the CDROM.

ANy ideas ? What is the most popular program and any other feedback people may have

Thanks rob

First, I assume you want to make mp3s from Audio-CDs :-).

yes

What you said would really be hard:-)) OK, let's go to work. Start the konqueror, click Window- show navigation panel. Then go for 'services', the little hammer, on my box (KDE 3.0.3) it's the one before the last. Then insert a CD, and check the 'Audio CD Browser'. This enables you to directly access the tracks as .wav and .ogg -

Yes, ok I see all the tracks as .ogg now what?? how to I convert to mp3?? ;-) rob

To get mp3 you need to encode the wavs with bladeenc or whatever.

where </dev/cdrom> is your cdrom device. I had to do the same: specifying a different device as my DVDROM will not read CD's

YES... that was exactly it.... my setting is grip -d /dev/sr0 So now I can see and rip tracks.2 questions where do the mp3s get saved to and I want to produce mp3 files, do I need bladenc or lame. Iy seems like the only format I can choose without GRIP complaining is ogg wich is not as portable as mp3 thanks rob -- Fortune's Real-Life Courtroom Quote #37: Q: Did he pick the dog up by the ears?
