Breezy: Rip CD to mp3

kenneho · 12-06-2005, 07:03 AM

I'm having troubles installing an mp3-encoder on Breezy. The documentation says to install gstreamer w/lame, but the package is not availible in the repositories. I've added the following line to sources-list:

deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ breezy-extras main universe multiverse restricted

This does not work. How do one fix this?

Here is a link to Lame. http://lame.sourceforge.net/

I installed Grip along with lame to rip CD's to MP3s.

Thanks, it worked out just great! But shouldn't there be a pre-compiled package for Breezy out there somewhere?

Lame (mp3 encoding) is tied up in licensing issues. Some distros will not take the chance. I run Mandriva, and I got it from sourceforge. You may find one somewhere.

Mirrormax is down. For up-to-date repositories, go here:

Ok, thanks for the replies. I've already got it working, but I'll try the other repository next time I install Ubuntu.

I have downloaded LAME ok but cannot install. Ubuntu does not have a './configure' or 'make' command as specified in the Install instructions. Could someone please provide specific install instructions for Breezy.

Many thanks,
David

The easiest way is to install gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse _AND_ goobox. For gst-lame maybe you have to point one line of your /etc/apt/sources.list to

"deb http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf breezy free non-free"

but i think that it is included in the main multiverse archive.

You can install goobox from the simple "add application" program, but for gst-lame you need synaptic or aptitude or apt-get or adept or any other real installer.

Thanks Savjo and Angkor. I'll try these

Well, LAME was already installed. The problem was that Audacity was asking for 'libmp3lame.so' and Ubuntu had compiled it as 'libmp3lame.so.0.0.0'. Anyhow, I pointed Audacity to this library and it happily exported one of my files as 'mp3'. I played it back OK.

Many thanks once again.
