These include a
number of iRiver, Jens of Sweden, MobiBLU, Neuros, and Samsung models. Verify with your product??™s
manual, however, as models and player firmware change often.
If you want to rip music files from a CD and compress them, you can use the Grip window
(described later in this chapter). Grip enables you to select oggenc as the tool to
do the file compression.
If you are interested in making a CD jukebox that rips, records, and compresses music CDs using
oggenc and other open source software, check out Linux Toys by Christopher Negus and Chuck
Wolber from Wiley Publishing (2003).
Recording and Ripping Music
A writable CD-ROM drive is a standard device on computers. Where once you had to settle for a
floppy disk (1.44MB) or a Zip disk (100MB) to store personal data, a CD-ROM burner lets you
store more than 600MB of data in a format that can be exchanged with most computers. On top of
that, you can create CD music discs!
Both graphical and command-line tools exist for creating CDs on Linux. The cdrecord command
enables you to create audio and data CDs from the command line, writing to CD-recordable (CD-R)
and CD-rewritable (CD-RW) drives. This command is discussed in the following section.
