Well, since the last entry, I completed LFS 6.1.1 successfully. I then realized that I was WAY to new to Linux to actually do anything with it. So I trashed it, installed Debian. I got to play with that Distro for about a month before my HD decided it wanted to take a crap. So about a month ago I got SimplyMEPIS installed and haven't used WinD'OHs since (well, except for my scanner ::shrugs:: whatcha gonna do??? lol).

So, I'm back to trying Linux From Scratch again, but this time...

Assuming you want a FLAC copy, of course.
Use any good ripper app to extract to FLAC.
I'm currently using Sound Juicer, but under OpenSuSE I was using another one from the Gnome suite (called something like XCDRipper, which was more configurable than Sound Juicer).
Then, I found a script to convert to MP3, which I modified.
It doesn't like spaces in the filenames.

That thread also talks about cd2ogg, which has been very handy.

Alternative...
