This is a nice article about Amarok, and I will be keeping it and using it at a later date - I have not yet used my ipod much. http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/01/04/1916256
I was a bit surprised to see an adverse comment about ubuntu though - related to the function for ripping CDs: ======= [Playing, ripping, and burning CDs] ...... You can also rip audio from CDs using Amarok, providing you have the right KIO-slave installed. If you insert a CD, and then select the Files browser, Amarok displays the CD tracks and several virtual folders containing the CD tracks as MP3s, Ogg Vorbis, or FLAC-encoded files. These aren't actually on the CD; it's a virtual filesystem. If you copy the files into another folder, Amarok will rip the music to the appropriate format. For some reason, this feature doesn't work in the Ubuntu/Kubuntu release of Amarok 1.4.4, even after installing what should be the right packages for the AudioCD KIO-slave, but it does work in Xandros and other distros. ======= Anyone know different? If it is true, it would be good to get feedback to the appropriate team, which I would try to do when I get into using it. Unfortunately that is going to be a while yet though, certainly after april. -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
