Ripping Audio CDs on K3b in Fedora Core 2

Without trepidation, I can say that i'm a neophyte to

and i'm having a hell of a time ripping CD's. I'm using K3B and got it to recognize mp3's (which is a problem on Fedora Core 2), but now, though my TEAC cd/dvd is working fine, K3B won't recognize any unscratched or scratched audio cd's in put in. Any suggestions?

If you want to rip Audio CDs, you better use Grip

BTW, I have no problems with mp3 under FC2

Using grip gives me the same problem. it won't recognize any cds.

You mean you can't play ANY audio CD or just can't rip them??? Make sure you have an mp3 encoder (lame, for example) otherwise, you won't be able to rip anything

In grip, in the "Config"->"CD", CDRom Device should point to your CD-Rom. I think default is /dev/cdrom, if not change it.

GRIP and K3b won't read any audio cd's and it was already set to /dev/cdrom and that's where my cdrom is. any ideas? for that matter, no audio cd works on any of my software

Do you use Digital Extraction?? If so, the only software that I know that will allow you to play AudioCDs is XMMS from version 1.2.10
If not, check the audio cable from CD to soundcard is correctly plugged.
