hahaha it took me so long to write this that i was logged out
OK so i bought a new album, just to satisfy your possible curiosity its the killers, day and age album
so maybe if it wasn't so poppy it would work!
in any case the files on the cd are locked there is a orange picture of a padlock, all the files on the cd are .wav files when i browse though the cd with the ubuntu file browser
(Uncompressed 16-bit PCM...WAV audio (audio/x-wav) this is the info i get when i open the properties of the file this is track 1. (i doubt they are different as the tracks progress)
not until i plugged into the Internet did the cd even play in rythmbox or totem. rythmbox retrieved the info for the cd and i was able to at least play it (after the Internet was plugged in)
as the title of the post says, i want to put these files on my ipod, however ive never added files from a cd (purchaed from a store) onto my ipod using ubuntu or rythmbox etc. ive been playing with rythmbox and totem and brasero for a while to see if i can get it. and i read up on .wav files on wikipedia didnt help.
i get this error when i try to extract the songs to my hard drive(the computer hd) through rythmbox>(that menu on the left that you navigate with)>devices>"day and age" while the cd is selected there is the extract icon and i hit it it seems to do a whole bunch of work (like its going to work fine no problems) and i get a error for every track "GStreamer encountered a general stream error" if i copy the cd which i did successfully using brasero>new project>"disc copy"(but the menu calls it copy disk(weird, different names...)) it copies all the locks and tracks, rightfully so. so it is an exact copy... i tried this cause in itunes if you make a cd with the acc files from itunes, and then re-import that burned cd you can get them converted as mp3s if you have cds selected to import that way so i was trying to do something similar, i may end up trying that if i cant get this to work soon but im so ethicaly opposed to the windows/apple corporate capitalism stuff, so ill wait, moreover that doesn't help me learn ubuntu or any of its accompanying software
but i cant get this cd on my ipod and thats what i want to do i want this album on my ipod with all the track info, and in 320 kbps mp3 how????????????????????????
i keep all my music on my ipod and a external hd, and ide like to do the same for this cd. and just for clarification i use floola but i guess it works through rythmbox as i understand it where as on windows it was a stand alone program.
i hope ive given the right info to be helped please let me help you help me ill keep my eyes on this post feel free to private message me im very frustrated over this...
the conspiracy theorist in me says that the producders put some heavy file proection on this album so thats why im having this difficulty
oh and i have one other .wav file on my iopd and according to the properties window its the same type to the "T" sooooo yea even more perplexing...
HeLp? thanks.
