If you are interested in listening to your music from your HDD you could do a lot worse than installing the commandline cd ripper abcde:
and if you are keen to rip to ogg vorbis the following ~/.abcde.conf file should prove useful:Code:sudo apt-get install abcde
Have fun :)Code:# -----------------$HOME/.abcde.conf----------------- #
#
# A sample configuration file to convert music cds to
# Ogg Vorbis using abcde version 2.5.3
#
# http://andrews-corner.org/abcde.html
# -------------------------------------------------- #
# Specify the encoder to use for Ogg Vorbis. In this case
# vorbize is the other choice.
OGGENCODERSYNTAX=oggenc
# Specify the path to the selected encoder. In most cases the encoder
# should be in your $PATH as I illustrate below, otherwise you will
# need to specify the full path. For example: /usr/bin/oggenc
OGGENC=oggenc
# Specify your required encoding options here. Multiple options can
# be selected as '-q 6 --another-option' etc.
OGGENCOPTS='-q 6'
# Output type for Ogg Vorbis
OUTPUTTYPE="ogg"
# The cd ripping program to use. There are a few choices here: cdda2wav,
# dagrab, cddafs (Mac OS X only) and flac.
CDROMREADERSYNTAX=cdparanoia
# Give the location of the ripping program and pass any extra options:
CDPARANOIA=cdparanoia
CDPARANOIAOPTS="--never-skip=40"
# Give the location of the CD identification program:
CDDISCID=cd-discid
# Give the base location here for the encoded music files.
OUTPUTDIR="$HOME/music/"
# The default actions that abcde will take.
ACTIONS=cddb,playlist,read,encode,tag,move,clean
# Decide here how you want the tracks labelled for a standard 'single-artist',
# multi-track encode and also for a multi-track, 'various-artist' encode:
OUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${TRACKFILE}'
VAOUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/Various-${ALBUMFILE}/${TRACKNUM}.${ARTISTFILE}-${TRACKFILE}'
# Decide here how you want the tracks labelled for a standard 'single-artist',
# single-track encode and also for a single-track 'various-artist' encode.
# (Create a single-track encode with 'abcde -1' from the commandline.)
ONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}'
VAONETRACKOUTPUTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/Various-${ALBUMFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}'
# Create playlists for single and various-artist encodes. I would suggest
# commenting these out for single-track encoding.
PLAYLISTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/${ARTISTFILE}-${ALBUMFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}.m3u'
VAPLAYLISTFORMAT='${OUTPUT}/Various-${ALBUMFILE}/${ALBUMFILE}.m3u'
# Put spaces in the filenames instead of the more correct underscores:
mungefilename ()
{
echo "$@" | sed s,:,-,g | tr / _ | tr -d \'\"\?\[:cntrl:\]
}
# What extra options?
MAXPROCS=2 # Run a few encoders simultaneously
PADTRACKS=y # Makes tracks 01 02 not 1 2
EXTRAVERBOSE=y # Useful for debugging
EJECTCD=y # Please eject cd when finished :-)

Why is that VirtualBox ? You have celeron and only 1 GB ddr ram
Exactly, which is why it belongs in Recurring Discussions.Quote:
That is a 'which is better, apples or blue' question. There are a million answers but none of them may be what you want.
Talk of audio encoding/ ripping your own musik.
I recommend XFCA, it may take abit of time to find codecs pakages (if you need all of them) but this gui encoder is easy, has endless options :)
You'll find it in ubuntu software centre.
If you want to emulate some things, "ZSNES" is a great super NES emulator and all the great ROMS of the past are plentyfull (especially if you like RPGS). The Nintendo 64 emulator "mupen64plus" is a little buggy (on my system for some ROMS anyway) but seems to play the Zelda games well. The N64 emulator takes a little effort to get installed (installs in terminal) but is worth the time in figuring it out.
I haven't found much in the way of easy to use stable emulators for any more recent gaming system.
