Compressing Audio CDs Using Konqueror
Before you start the actual ripping process with Konqueror, configure the handling of
audio CDs and the Ogg Vorbis encoder in the KDE Control Center. Select Sound &
Multimedia > Audio CDs. The configuration module is divided into three tabs: General,
Names, and Ogg Vorbis Encoder. Normally, a suitable CD device is detected automat-
ically. Do not change this default setting unless the autodetection failed and you need
to set the CD device manually. Error correction and encoder priority can also be set
here. The Ogg Vorbis Encoder tab determines the quality of the encoding. To configure
online lookup of album, track, and artist information for your ripped audio data, select
Add Track Information.
Start the ripping process by inserting the CD into the CD-ROM drive and entering
audiocd:/ in the Location bar. Konqueror then lists the tracks of the CD and some
folders (see Figure 20.4, "Ripping Audio Data with Konqueror" (page 286)).

To keep uncompressed audio data on your disk, just select the .wav files and drag
them into another Konqueror window to copy them to their final destination. To start
the Ogg Vorbis encoding, drag the Ogg Vorbis folder or files from this folder to
another Konqueror window. The encoding starts as soon as you drop the Ogg Vorbis
folder at its destination.
