| I use "grip"(extras) to rip CD's to flac format.  This is easy and I did
| about 50 over the weekend.  I use flac as it is lossless and provides a
| method to recreate any CD that the kids may want for their players.
|
| Then when there is a song that I want to put on my portable player
| (supports mp3/wma/ogg) I use "sound converter"(extras?) to convert the
| files that I want converted into a mirror of my player.  I then use
| "Unison"(dries) to update the player, which mounts as a usb device to my
| preferred list.
|
| All of this is done in gnome.  I needed something easy for my wife to use.
|
| With the correct plugins, grip can rip to mp3 from a drop-down menu.

Hi there,
I use Sound Juices.  After having done the modifications described in
the help docs and added the extra required software it works nicely.

Fortunately, as I am unable to get Amarok to recognize my cd/dvd player.
