    Grip

    I'm trying to use grip to rip cds. It effectively rips the cds, but cannot properly encode them. This sucks because it leaves them as .wavs, and when imported to gtkpod, this means you have to enter all of the song info in manually. I am trying to encode using toolame. The following is what I have entered in the grip configure encoding:

    encode executive: /usr/bin/toolame
    encoder commandline: -h -b %b %w %m
    encode file extension: mp3
    encode file format: ~/mp3/%A/%d/%n.%x

    it gives me no errors whatsoever. Just doesnt' encode. And on the rip progress indicator it shows it going to 100%, but the encoder just shows idle.

    Any ideas???

    Do you have mpg123/mpg321 installed ?

    in any case try to encode your wav file to ogg
    oggenc *.wav
    Linux is not only an operating system, it's a philosophy.
