No manual entry for woman
Segmentation fault (core dumped) - oldman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Good article, but sadly doesn't even touch on the more modern approaches such as GRIP et. al. which can rip and encode all in one step - no hassling with filenames etc.

- warbird, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6your lame params sucks. why not just -V2 or something?
- oshu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4This is just silly...
The best part of this "article" was the part on searching man pages. Seriously, if you need a howto to execute a few simple commands, then really what you need is to study up on reading man pages. Why limit yourself? There are many, many commands whose secrets can be unlocked by a quick reading of the man pages.
If you don't know where to start, try this:
man man - simoncoul, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4In canada you are allowed to borrow a CD from a friend and make a copy of it for your own personal use. But it is illegal for your friend to make a copy of the cd and give it to you. Some laws are very stupid.
- Cyrack, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Beside the the stuff allready mentioned, why even convert to ogg from wav, then back to wav and to mp3, unless you really, really wan't bad quality and have too many CPU-cycles?
FFS. if you want to do it the hard way, at least encode both files from the wave-file, and then delete it. The other way around is just plain stupid! - venom8599, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Agreed about the dumb LAME parameters. There's no need to use "-B 320" as the biggest a frame can be is 320kbps anyway. Setting "-b 32" is pretty useless too, as I really doubt it'd encode much with a 32kbps frame anyhow, and the encoder always encodes silences with the smallest frame size, ignoring this value. The "-h" switch is automatically enabled with VBR, and you didn't even specify a quality setting for "-V". You'd get much better results just using "-V 2 --vbr-new", which would produce files with ~210kbps.
- idonthack, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Yeah... This is ridiculous. Every distro comes with a CD ripping program. I guess this page would be useful if you wanted to do every step in the ripping and conversion processes yourself, but there's no reason you should want to.
- kylewp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ogg is without a doubt the best audio format. I wouldn't be suprised if more and more audio player manufactures begin to support it....
- eantoranz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4if I want to rip from the cd straight to mp3s by console I do:
for i in 01 02 05 06 08 10; do cdparanoia $i - | lame -h -v -b 32 -B 320 - $i.mp3; done
Thus you don't make temporary files... just your mp3s and that's it. - m0tin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Just download soundKonverter instead...
- jc0le, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Works for video or audio files:
ffmpeg -i inputfile.{whatever extension} outfile.{whatever extension}
To specify an audio bitrate of 64:
ffmpeg -i inputfile.{whatever extension} -ab 64 outfile.{whatever extension}
Simple. - zerocomm, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Most readers of Digg are Linux newbies and could use some good command line exercises. They are too used to Ubuntu doing everything for them.
