Hi, I have an audio cd ( commercial and no DRM ). It contains 20 wav files some of which are bad ( disc damage ). "Looking" at the cd with amarok reveals several folders as well. One of those contains 20 ogg files. How can I extract the ogg files ? and save them to hard drive. K3b cannot "see" the folders. Amarok cannot play the files as it complains it cannot access them ( although it can "see" them ) and I cannot seem to mount the disc. Is there some means ( ? copy iso to hard drive first ) that I can get at those oggs? Using SuSE 10. Many thanks Francesco
Use CD Player (Sound Juicer) under Media CD players. Works gread for this, however, FLAC is a better format as it is lossless. Art Francesco Scaglioni wrote:

Francesco and Art, I may be late here since your note is a few weeks old, but here's another option: (assuming you are running KDE on SuSE) 1) put the cd in the CD-ROM drive and do one of the following: a) type this: audiocd:/ OR if you have a pretty recent version of KDE/SuSE: b) type this instead: media:/ (then click or double click on the icon that says Audio CD) 2) select one of the formats under that view...and there are reasons for each: a) some players/systems only use MP3 so you may want that b) I personally use OGG, because it sounds pretty good to me even when i burn the tracks to CD later c) true audiophiles like to use FLAC it seems, because it's lossless 3) simply drag and drop the tracks to a file on your hard drive...it's really that easy! TIME SAVER/CAVEAT: something I learned was to always be sure I am connected to the internet too, because KDE will usually be able to figure out the name of the song and artist...you may want to go into the Control Center under Audio filenames...and play with that so that it names them how you want automatically...this saves tons of time having to rename files later. hope this helps, wmeler
