(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kio-audiocd Version: KDE 3.0.2 Severity: normal Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages Compiler: gcc 2.95.4 OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified When I try to rip to ogg using audiocd and kde 3.0.2 I consistently get about 100 kbps files no matter how high it is set. There was a similar bug in 2.2.2 I know but this seems to be different. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
The audiocd io slave was extended to allow the new "quality based" encoding method but the configuration dialog (kcontrol module) was not updated accordingly. Since the new code defaults to using the new method if there is no entry in your configuration saying otherwise you will _always_ get quality encoded files with a "quality factor" of 3.0 (again unless your configuration says differently) which currently corresponds to about 112kbps. Workaround: Edit your ~/.kde/share/config/kcmaudiorc manually. Add "encmethod=1" to the [Vorbis] section to get the old behaviour you will then be able to use the audiocd kcontrol module as before. Alternatively you can set encmethod=0 and add "quality=x" where x is a value between 0.0 and 10.0. This allows you to use the new quality based encoding (which is now the recommended way of encoding ogg vorbis files btw) but you can't use the kcontrol module anymore. Greetings Marcel
