“Many people still have the impression that Linux is about
servers and typing commands in console. Well, that isn’t all; Linux
is being used on the desktop more and more. Why ? Here are some
reasons.”
“Everybody likes music. The technology lets people listen to
high-quality music on audio CDs. But if they aren’t using a
computer, they are missing a lot. Why change the CD because you
want to listen to other album ? Lots of songs can be stored on the
hard drive or CD-ROMs.”
“To do that, you’ll have to transform the songs from audio CD to
computer files. My favourite tool for that is grip. Download
bladeenc too, which compresses audio data to mp3 files. Launch
grip, set Config -> MP3 -> Encoder to bladeenc and let it
rip!”
