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?

You need Lame installed for Cd ripper to do mp3. Once installed change the encoder to lame and it will work. Walt

I use easytag after ripping to do my tags - it's a wonderful program

Now problem is to get from cdrom to the music repository with idtags and in mp4 format Why mp4? I thought Apple used the aac format? (I don't have an ipod, so I don't know). You can make aac files with faac. But I'm sure it can handle mp3?
