Is there a tutorial on how to use Grip? I installed it but it looked too complicated, thus I didn't try to figure out if I could rip CDs as 320 kbps mp3's.

Thank you all for helping me. I think I'm going to do what Yashiro said and use

in Sound Juicer.

To me it's the easiest way to solve my problem. Learning abcde is too time consuming for me...

Hi Bill,
I just installed abcde but I can't find it any where. It's not even in Applications > Sound & Video. Is abcde a command-line only program?
Thanks.

Yeah, probably USB 1. But still, it takes over an hour to rip one CD using Sound Juicer.

Here's the output code, it's quite long:

My guess is USB 2.0 because it was first introduced in 2000, according to Wikipedia. And my computer is made in 2005 and the USB CD/DVD+RW drive is brand new.

Do you think there's a large time...

Thank you for the links! The first one is most helpful since it contains the second one. I'm ripping a CD right now to mp3 but the progress bar say it'll take me over 90 mins, at a speed of 0.5-0.6X....

Hello, I recently purchased a Samsung SE-S084B portable CD/DVD-RW drive and I can't play DVDs or CDs. None of the preinstalled Ubuntu media players work. I installed VLC and it plays the CD as .wav...

Dear Favus,

Thank you for the xorg.conf.txt file. A few months ago when I first installed Ubuntu I spent two days editing the xorg.conf file under /etc/X11 for the tablet functions. I'm comparing...

As it turns out, the problem still persists after I changed the BIOS to its default setting.

The problem is this, still:

I just found the solution to this problem:

Double click the Volume Control on the top right of the Gnome desktop (if this is for Ubuntu). Then click on Switches, check the box for "Headphone Jack...

Changing BIOS to default is something I should do since I changed it to boot from an external DVD drive first so I can install Ubuntu from a CD and never thought to change back to default.

I wish someone can solve this NTFS issue since most computers are Windows and Windows use NTFS. I guess I'll wait for 9.04 to come out then test out Ubuntu.

You are correct, the file system is NTFS. However my computer does not have a CDROM drive. I installed Ubuntu by loading the ISO into daemon tools and installed it from there. If it's a filesystem...

I've been using Ubuntu for almost 3 months and just recently it stopped booting. I even tried to load it in safe mode. I don't even see the login screen. I get a message that says:

Thank you for your help. I'm going to wait until Ubuntu 9.04 to come out and see if the problem still persists.

Thank you very much for this How-To but I don't know how to write codes and using the command line is no natural to me. I'm going to wait for Ubuntu 9.04 to come out and hope that this problem is...
