Thanks Lenard
I tried to compile ripperx but failed with no distinct error message. A Google search of this found lots of others with the same problem but no solutions. This did however lead me to find cdmp3 (
http://www.roland-riegel.de/cdmp3/index.html) which works on the command line but is still a step forward.
Whilst trying to find a gui for cdmp3 I found this link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor..._media_players and from there Banshee (
http://www.banshee-project.org/Main_Page) looks to be what I'm after however Kernel 2.6 is listed in the requirements (along with a few other files) and Slack 11 uses kernel 2.4. So I appear to be left with few options:
1. Try and get 2.6 kernel on Slackware (no idea where to start << Noob)
2. Use a different distro (I have FC6 here but chose to use Slackware to learn as apparently it would give me a better understanding of Linux)
3. Keep hunting
