Here's an inspiration for what you could put into a script - a simple converter for audio CD to OGG/Vorbis: dd bs=2352 if=/dev/acd0t01 | oggenc -q 6 -r -o track01.ogg Of course, if you want to add information (like album, interpret etc.), you can use those additional options, explained in the manual ("man oggenc"). You can use "cdcontrol info" to find out how many tracks to process, and then iterate automatically to put all tracks into one directory, in ogg format. No big deal. Of course, it's helpful when you maintain a good directory and file naming convention for your files, rather than "track01.ogg" and so on. It makes finding a specific peace of music more easy if file names correspond to what you hear when you play it. :-) > i've tried to play it with kmplayer, with amaroK. zip. i've > tried sound-juice and get the fatal error that there are no > CD-ROM drives. a few releases ago i used sound-juicer to > transfer [and play] tunes. no mo'. Why not first try the obvious solution? # cdcontrol -f /dev/acd0 play You can define CDROM (or CDPLAYER?) environmental variable to omit the -f parameter. > ps: if there is a new utility to play audio cd's running > 7.3, i haven't heard! The system brings cdcontrol. For X, why not use XMMS, or if you want a simple solution that just works, try xcd. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
