How to get K3b to Burn mp3s as a Audio CD
1. Download the latest k3b and k3b-libs package from the following location:For AMD64: http://ftp.tiscali.nl/debian-pure64/pool/main/k/k3b/
For x86/PPC:

2. Open the package in your favourite Archive Manager/Midnight Commander and extract the following files:

From k3b:
k3bmaddecoder.plugin (in /usr/share/apps/k3b/plugins/)

From k3b-libs:
libk3bmaddecoder.la (in /usr/lib/kde3/)
libk3bmaddecoder.so (in /usr/lib/kde3/)

3. Login under su/sudo
4. Copy k3bmaddecoder.plugin to /usr/share/apps/k3b/plugins/
and copy the other two files to /usr/lib/kde3/

5. Restart K3b and enjoy!!

Hi

the deb way to go is

apt-get source k3b
apt-get build-dep k3b
apt-get install libmad0 libmad0-dev
cd k3b-0.11.23
dpkg-buildpackage -tc
dpkg -i ../k3b_0.11.23-0ubuntu1_i386.deb ../k3blibs_0.11.23-0ubuntu1_i386.deb


with this you get a k3b which has

/usr/share/apps/k3b/plugins/k3bmaddecoder.plugin
/usr/lib/kde3/libk3bmaddecoder.la
/usr/lib/kde3/libk3bmaddecoder.so

included. these are only included if during the compile the file mad.h is found. And as libmad0-dev is not required to compile k3b it is not downloaded during the "apt-get build-dep k3b" without the extra install you get a mp3 free k3b. (politcal reasons or just forgotten ?)

Hmm thats a good way to, however I have never built an apt-package from source, never needed to... but this is good. will try it to learn something new ;)

I have created k3b and k3blibs packages with mp3 audio cd burning support for x86 hoary systems. If anyone is interested in them, send me an e-mail at randabis@gmail.com and I'll send you the .debs.

apt-get build-dep k3b doesn't work for me. Dependencies cannot be built.

[kunjan1029]

your system is missing dependencies to k3b. apt should have shown you a list of missing packages install them first
