-<title>Audio CD Ripping in &tde;</title>
-
-<para>The conventional way of ripping Audio CDs to MP3 or Ogg files is to
-use a standalone program such as <trademark class="registered"><application>iTunes</application></trademark>, Winamp or &tde;'s own
-<application>KAudioCreator</application>. But if we stick to conventions,
-where's the fun?! So in this article, I am going to show you how to feel
-elite by ripping your CDs in the, umm.. elite way. ;-) </para>

-<sect2 id="audio-cd-ingredients">
-<title>Ingredients</title>
-
-<para>What do we need to be cool? Vanilla &tde;, without any extra
-ingredients, will be able to rip your CDs. But to encode them, you'll need
-to install the relevant codecs. At the moment, Ogg Vorbis, MP3 and FLAC formats
-are supported. To enable encoding to these formats, you'll have to install
-libogg, lame and flac respectively. How exactly you install these depends on
-your distribution: take a look at their documentation to find out how.</para>
-
-<para>Once you have your favourite codec(s) installed, open &kcontrolcenter; and navigate your way to <menuchoice><guimenu>Sound &amp;
-Multimedia</guimenu><guimenuitem>Audio CDs</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
-and configure the settings on the various tabs to your liking. You can leave
-everything in the default state if you so wish, but it's helpful to take a
-look so you at least know what's on offer. Again, take a look at
-<menuchoice><guimenu>Sound &amp; Multimedia</guimenu><guimenuitem>CDDB
-Retrieval</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and change anything that's not to your
-liking. <acronym>CDDB</acronym>, in case you didn't know, stands for CD DataBase (or Compact
-Disc DataBase in it's more free flowing form). This functionality enables
-&tde; to retrieve the Artist/Album/Track information about your CDs from the
-Internet. This metadata is also used to write tags to the MP3 or Ogg files
-that you'll be encoding your CDs to anytime now.</para>

-<title>Recipe</title>
-
-<para>Without further delay, let's get down to the business of being cool.
-First, pop in the CD you want to rip (obviously!). Next, fire up a
-&konqueror; window and open the <guilabel>Services</guilabel> tab on the Navigation panel. The
-Navigation panel sits on the left side of the window, as shown in the
-screenshot below. If it's not visible, you can produce it out of thin air by
-pressing the magic <keycap>F9</keycap> key.</para>

-
-
-<para>Now click on Audio CD Browser and in a few seconds, you'll see a lot
-of folders which you can start browsing. If it's taking some time to show
-anything, it's because it's trying to fetch information about the CD from
-the CDDB database you configured earlier.</para>
-
-<para>In the screenshot below, you can see the contents of the Ogg Vorbis
-folder. It shows all the songs in the Ogg format; it even shows their file
-size! But, you and I both know that audio CDs don't contain Ogg tracks. So
-what exactly is happening here?</para>
-
-
-<mediaobject>
-<imageobject>
-<imagedata format="PNG" fileref="oggfolder.png"/>
-</imageobject>
-</mediaobject>
-
-
-<para>All the folders you see under Audio CD Browser are virtual folders.
-They show contents of the CD through different filters, so to speak. When
-you open the Ogg Vorbis folder, you are actually seeing the contents of the
-CD <emphasis>as if</emphasis> it were stored in the Ogg format. You can go through the other
-folders and you'll find MP3, flac and wav representations of the CD's
-contents. You can even see the approximate file sizes when encoded in the
-various formats.</para>
-
-
-<para>So how do we rip and encode the CD? I think you can guess the answer
-by now. Just decide which format you wish to rip to, open that folder, and
-copy and paste those files in your target folder. That's it! &tde; will start
-ripping and encoding the files on the fly! If you copy any of the files in
-the <guilabel>Full CD</guilabel> folder, you'll be ripping the entire CD as
-one continuous stream.</para>
