Compressing Audio Data Using KAudioCreator
KAudioCreator is a lean CD ripper application (see Figure 19.3, "Ripping Audio CDs
with KAudioCreator" (page 262)). Once started, it lists all the tracks of your CD in the
CD Tracks tab. Select the tracks to rip and encode. To edit the track information, use
the Album Editor under File → Edit Album. Otherwise just start the ripping and encoding
with File → Rip Selection. Watch the progress of these jobs using the Jobs tab. If con-
figured accordingly, KAudioCreator also generates playlist files for your selection that
can be used by players like amaroK, XMMS, or Helix Banshee.

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
