| I've been using Ubuntu for a few days now, and I've made the decision to re-rip all my CDs. The bundled package for ripping is "CD Juicer", but for some obscure reason it will only rip to OGG for digital music encoding (not a massive help). I went past the CD Juicer website and it seems that the latest one does support MP3, but I'm not sure I can select a bitrate (again, this does not make it a useful program). Anyway, I downloaded it and followed the instructions. cd to directory - fine type ./configure - gave me "configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH " >=( So, what do I do now? Has anyone got any recommendations for better ripping programs while I'm here? |

| Install gcc, glibc, and so on. Also. Why in God's name would you prefer mp3 OVER ogg? |

| mp3's are more practical than ogg, and therefore better. And, yeah, Ubuntu doesn't come with C installed, partly because it blows for beginners. Try installing knoppix on your hard drive, it's way better. |

A Linux distro without C installed? Well now I've seen everything.  Originally posted by ||bass Compare the number of MP3 players you see in your average electronics store to the number of OGG players. |

| You cannot overstate MP3's advantage in it's support. The quality of the compression really becomes insignificant when it comes to which devices and programs support formats. I mean, if we're talking compression alone, ATRAC is the best, but does anyone use it? No. I wanted to rip to MP3 because that would mean that I can use the same format of music on my Sony Network Walkman and on my PCs. If it's any other format, Sony's Sonic Stage software converts them all to ATRAC3+ instead, which takes forever. Anyway, where should I go from here? It doesn't make much sense to me that Ubuntu would stifle users by not bundling C. I can't be expected to live with their limited software, yet how do I install even C itself without a compiler?  |

| They have gcc packages... I'm not sure if Ubuntu has apt-get, but if it does: apt-get install gcc | |||

I think it does. I'll have a look at that tomorrow  |

| As far as I know. Ubuntu has it's own special package manager. The whole GCC package IS available on it. |

| Yeah, I tried that and it was really simple. I tried to get file sharing done today, so I went through the package manager and installed Samba. It took me a while to figure out that I needed to create users on Ubuntu for logins for people on the network and add them to Samba though... It's not as simple (or as insecure, I guess) as Windows. I've managed to access my MP3 folder across the network from my dad's and my brother's PCs, but the network workgroup will not be displayed on my laptop for some reason. It might have something to do with Norton or Windows Firewall, I'm hoping. Next, I'm going to install codecs for MP3 support so I can rip and play MP3s. I've created the format profile, as listed in help, but it didn't mention anything about codecs. Oh well. I guess making Linux user-friendly really is a lie  |

| Kasumi. It is user friendly. The problem is that a -freeware- mp3 encoder is largly impossible due to the various copyrights on the mp3 format. The whole thing can be made easy from a programming and computing perspective. The problem is strictly a legal issue. | |||

| If it's so hard to do, why's WinLAME seem to have no problem with it? |

| winLAME is for Windows... that being said, I have no problem encoding MP3s with the regular lame command. | |||

| Yes, but it exists and is free without any patent/copyright issues. |

| IIRC, Canada is the last country with a patent issue with MP3 encoders. |
