Running FC5, just ran "yum clean all" and "yum update", grip, sound juicer and lame are installed. However, I'm having trouble ripping a CD. The CD automounts, apparently, fine. Well enough that soundjuicer, when run, prompts as to which tracks to extract and where. However, grip, when asked to either rip or encode, reports that "no tracks have been selected. Rip whole CD?", clicking "yes" merely brings up the same dialog.

However, I can't browse the disc with the file browser (in gnome). For lame, under config, encoder, encode, lame, the settings are: encoder executable /usr/bin/lame encoder command line -h -b %b %w %m encoder file extension mp3 encoder file format ~/mp3/%A/%d/%n.mp3 for sound juicer: profile name mp3 profile description <mp3> gstream pipeliner audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc ! id3mux file extension mp3 When I extract an mp3 with soundjuicer I get an mp3, after a few minutes of pegged CPU utilization, which XMMS loads but doesn't play. XMMS plays other mp3 files fine (which I've put on my mp3 player, too). I'm more oriented towards sound juicer, as it's at least creating files, but I imagine that if grip were to read the CD that grip would work fine, too. So, any thoughts? thanks, Thufir
