Hey,,
I think it's ripping .
What folder does it rip to .
I put a cd in the tray,,,,,,It started to rip but I don't k'now where it did put in ???

Any specific folder I can find them in ?

ehdwuld · 10-06-2003, 02:41 AM

probably to your /home/user

alright then

what did you do?
change something in the /mnt/dev/ directory?

did you add cdrom0 ?
did you link cdrom0 to anything?

what did you do?

EDIT
oh I see it ad no cd to intiate the cdrom0

I just changed the cdrom device from grip itself,,,
I put /mnt/cdrom/
So grip can find the device there ,
Grip was looking for cdrom0
Which is not there .
So,,,Everything worked very cool,
The problem is I can't find that folder you are talking about,
/home/user/
!!!
What do you mean with that ?
Do you mean my user folder ?
If you do they are not there .
I might be wrong,
But I have an other question please !!!
It seems ripping in mp3 format.
How to do that with OGG files ?
Thanks for everything buddy,,,

usually the nameing of cdroms starts with
cdrom0 and cdrom is a symbolic link to cdrom0
in your case it is different

by
/home/user/
I meant your user directory
/home/<your-user-name>/
your local directory
your home directory
the one you start off in

what version of RH did you say you were using?
RH8 & RH9
didn't ship with the ability to read mp3
but I'm not sure about their ability to make them

check out the help
on grip on configuring it
it has one of the best help sections I've ever seen

your welcome

I use RH 8 beta
I think that's why I'm having many strange problems .
I'm also having some stupid problems in backing up my stuff,,
Never mind .
I can't find the folder youtold me about yet,,,,,
And there is no any of the files in /home/anmar/
So,,

What to do ?

Slackware came with a little program called KAudio Creator.........he he it ripped my CD's the .wav files and then encoded them to Ogg's.......I then just deleted the .wav's and then I enabled mplayer to see and play the Ogg's.........All my CD's almost filled a 9 gig drive I have........and they sound just as good if not better than the Cd itself.

ehdwuld · 10-06-2003, 03:28 AM

this is exactly what I've done with grip
RH also come with KAudio Creator

so many tools so little time to explore them all

are you able to open a GUI file manager and hold you cursor over the ogg files to preview them??

Anmar · 10-06-2003, 03:30 AM

We are talking about grip over here !!!
When I click rip only,,It does that but I can't find it ,
And when I try again it doesn't say it will overwrite or something .
Do I have to say Rip and Encode ?

ehdwuld · 10-06-2003, 03:34 AM

in the to corner of the grip GUI
it says help
kilick and read that
it will be much better than me reading and typing it to you

Anmar · 10-06-2003, 03:34 AM

I do the preview thing with mp3s,,I don't remember if I'm able to do it with oggs or not!!!
Bery cool,,,,
Now what about the grip thing ?

ehdwuld · 10-06-2003, 03:38 AM

the help section explains it very clearly

Anmar · 10-06-2003, 03:45 AM

I just can't find the music I'm ripping man,,
The help thing doesn't show nothing about it .....

ehdwuld · 10-06-2003, 03:52 AM

open a file manager
look in the first screen that comes up
look around
I have no idea where you have put them

I made a folder some months ago
when i did mine
and saved them to it

what ever the name of the cd that you ripped
will be the name of the folder that the ripped cd exists in

open a terminal and type
locate .wav

Anmar · 10-06-2003, 03:56 AM

How to let grip k'now where I want the files go to ?
Where to do the saving thing in grip ?!!!
Sorry if bothering .
