I was wondering if I could add mp3 to dsl..the xmms plays them but would like to rip a few cds and add some mp3's to a directory for the xmms-alarm to run..I noticed there is a ripper for gnome but I am useing dsl w/ fluxbox.. not sure what exactly parinoia does, looks like a gui for extracting wav from cd's..any greater understanding would be appreciated..have a good install on the p166 and do not want to mess it up with attemps to install programs I cannot remove.thanks for anyOk..thats cool..just borrowed some cd's with mp3's I like and copied..who needs a ripper...I'm done and will finally leave everyone in peace...u can use grip.dsl

That usually doesn't matter. Often when an app is made for Gnome, what it really means is that it uses Gtk rather than Qt or some other gui toolkit.
cdparanoia is a commandline ripper, but the mydsl includes the curses-based dekagen frontend. It does not include lame (mp3). If you are not comfortable with keyboad driven applications, or want mp3 encoding without the hassle of installing a separate encoder, you should probably choose grip.Grip.dsl..thanks will try that. it uses cdparinoia but maby more automatic..already downloaded cdparinoia and lame and installed mydsl...I forgot this post..was eager to get the alarm running..works great btw...need help with dekagen...posted in dsl ext...multimedia...thanks..in meantime will try grip...thanks mikshaw for that tidbit..so some gnome programs will work..have seen some possible aptgets that were gnome so skipped..I guess gtk is ok but gtk2 requires additional stuff? I'm a little confused..sorry...whats new...thanks...Next Page...
