Fournier: |I just picked up a bunch of CDs that I'm hoping to convert to MP3s (more |variety to shuffle through 130 songs vs having to swap CDs)...is there any |software that works under FreeBSD that will allow me to create them? Newer versions of mpeg_musicin/out pkg support both MPEG audio layers II (.mp2) and III (.mp3). (Fxtv will use this pkg, if installed, to encode audio captured off TV in MPEG format.) I've attached a snippet from the Fxtv README which describes how to get and build the pkg (at the time, the port on ftp.freebsg.org was out of date -- don't know if its been updated yet or not). Randall APPENDIX A - BUILDING MPEG LAYER 2 & 3 ENCODER SOFTWARE First, grab dist10.tar.gz from: ftp://ftp.tnt.uni-hannover.de/pub/MPEG/audio/mpeg2/software/technical_report http://multiverse.com/~rhh/fxtv, or Then: tar -zxovf dist10.tar.gz cd dist10/dist10/lsf/encoder configure gmake mv encode /usr/local/bin/mpeg_musicin find tables -print | cpio -dumpv /usr/local/lib/mpegaudio cd ../decoder configure gmake mv decoder /usr/local/bin/mpeg_musicout and finally, put this env var setting in your profile: MPEG_AUDIO=/usr/local/lib/mpegaudio/tables NOTE: For every last pinch of speed, after each "configure", modify the Makefiles and change "-O" to "-O3 -ffast-math -mfancy-math-387". NOTE: An older version of this software is packaged as the FreeBSD "mpeg_audio" port, but it doesn't like some AIFF files (byte order problems), and it doesn't seem to do Level 3 audio. dist10 does.
