 Simple iTunes replacement Hi, I am looking for a simple iTunes replacement. What I want to do is to rip CDs to M4a and then copy to an iPod with minimal fuss. Rhythmbox crashes when I try and edit the encoding properties so I am stuck with OGG and FLAC - no use for an ipod!  Using ubuntu 7.04 Beta. Cheers for any recommendations squelch41      |

If you want to rip your CD, you need SoundJuicer. You should be able to convert directly to MPEG4 sound format. But I haven't tried it. I only use devices that uses OGG myself  I use package/programme "SoundConverter" to convert from OGG to MP3 and other formats. I installed packages "soundconverter" and "gstreamer0.10-lame" to make soundconverter convert to MP3. Don't know how to make M4(?) format though. You might need packages gstreamer-tools, gstreamer0.10-plugins-base- apps, gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad, gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg-full, gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 Yes, if it doesn't work, try to remove ~/.gstreamer-0.10/ so gstreamer reload codecs etc... You might want to search on ffmpg, which is is library for managing m4(?) iPod audio format, I think. Some one will correct me on this |
