Hey again

A little update for ya - All is working really well. My converting of
ripped CD's to mp3 is near complete. I was able to convert the mp3 to
ogg (as pointed out in previous threads) and on the advice, the
remaining CD's are being ripped to ogg.

There IS a difference! Anyways, I have several DVD's for my iTune files.
When I HAD WindersXP - I used it only to buy my music and of course, rip
my CD's to iTunes (m4a I think).

Now - is there a play that will either allow me yo play those m4a files
I see that m4a files play in amarok 1.4.3 (using kde 3.5.2) in kubuntu
6.10
I am likely to have some codecs installed - I used automatix I think.
Although some people dont like it because they like more visibility of
installed stuff.

hth

I use Amarok also. Yes, I can play the m4a (for those that don't know -
m4a are the file you you add to iTunes via some other process - IE: rip
from CD. Whereas the m4p are the AAC files you purchase from iTunes).

You can probably convert them to ogg using the program ffmpeg2theora (it
also converts to vorbis); you can install it from the repositories. Try
a command like:

find ~/MyMusic -name "*.mp4" -execdir ffmpeg2theora "{}" ";"
