gtkpod conversion problem


I've recently switched to an all-linux system (Ubuntu 11.04). I'm trying to manage my music and iPod using gtkpod, but have run into a problem.

When I try to put ogg files onto my ipod, I get this message:

Conversion of 'name' failed: 'usr/share/gtkpod/scripts/convert-2mp3.sh ' returned exit status 5.

I think this is probably due to ipods not supporting ogg files, and gtkpod trying to automatically convert these to mp3s.

When I open the script in gedit, I see that 5 means "cannot exec encoding" and that "ENCODER='lame'

Ok, so I go to double check LAME is installed. Turns out its not, so a quick apt-get later, I restart gtkpod and try again, this time getting a "status 6" message, which means "conversion failed"

Now what?

If you have lame installed then you can encode those .ogg to .mp3, then put onto ipod.

mencoder
http://linux.die.net/man/1/mplayer

and

ffmpeg will also make .mp3 out of audio files.

Lots of ways to do that
