Cd Burner - GNOME
 

Hi... My burnning rom = :( ATM....

I'm looking for another burning rom via yum install... any suggestions?

k3b ;)
its in the livna repository
its a qt-programm, written for kde but works fine with gnome.
just try
yum install k3b k3b-mp3

hf
:)

thanks dude ;)

Graveman is just as good as K3B (in my opinion) and it's a GNOME app so it used GTK to draw itself and will fit in better with your GNOME desktop. Try both though and see which you prefer. K3B is closer to Nero for Windows from memory, Graveman is much more to the point.

which repo has a graeman with built-in mp3 support? (you'll also need an mp3 enabled version of sox.) otherwise you'll have to convert your mp3s to wav before being able to burn them :(

fedora has no sox with mp3, due to licence reasons.

but this post should help you ahead:

I beg your pardon? :

from the sox manpage:so that's what I did and:
dunno where I got sox, but I have no record of having it installed through yum (although my record is incomplete), but it's in my rpm database. Maybe there's no sox with rpm enabled in the official repos, but there must be one in some of the other repos.

cs-cam: did you install graveman from source or did you find an rpm with mp3 enabled somewhere? (or maybe you never use mp3 :scratch: )

edit: found sox with mp3 support in the yjl repo!

Just a though... if I get the source rpm would I be able to create an rpm with mp3 support?

I don't like the idea of installing with ./configure make make install as I'm not at all sure about how to uninstall if I don't like the final result...

Another good gnome/gtk burning app is gnomebaker. I think at the moment k3b is the best there is for Linux/Unix platforms.

Well... actually, although nero was under-windows program, I was actually satisfied, simple, clean easy and fast burnning with all you need.


:eek:

I wasn't meaning it in a negative way, I used Nero under Windows and it is very good, as is K3B. They both offer options that Graveman doesn't however I've found that I don't need most of those options and for general CD burning, Graveman is much more straighforward and to the point.

Installed it from the Arch Linux repo ;) Came with MP3 support built-in.

should be easy to rebuild sox

You need to install the libmad, libmad-dev, lame and lame-devel packages.
Then rebuild the sox src.rpm and install it - rpmbuild --rebuild sox*.src.SRPM

As I said in my post, sox is fine, it's graveman that needs mp3 support added in.
Will that install ok on FC4??

so? and why do the graveman people write in their FAQ, that sox is the problem in fc?
my output of sox -h is:

its the original package, and i dont see support for mp3, sorry.
you wrote, that you got the package 'sox' from yjl-repo. so you have a sox with mp3 support. dont you mean, that this is the reason, that graveman can burn mp3s on your box?

I tried graveman and it will not recognize mp3 files on my system. Sox is only part of the equasion.
I uninstalled it a couple of days ago so I can't run the command again, but 'graveman -V' will tell you which formats are supported.

Anyway, the main reason why I'd like to be rid of k3b (which works great BTW) is that I can't fiure out how to get it to stop loading artsd for sound events. I've turned off all sound events, but even so it plays a sound when I try to close an unsaved cd-collection. As a result I'm forced to kill artsd as root !! to get audacity to work ... I can do it, but I find it rather annoying.
