Description Maik Wagner 2017-07-06 07:05:05 UTC
Hello everyone,

this is not really a bug but just an idea to improve the configuration settings in k3b.

I am running openSUSE which configured K3b to rip Audio-CDs into OggVorbis and I really had a hard time to find a way to have K3b to rip into mp3 by default.

Here is what I did: I chose "mp3" as output format from the drop-down list, ripped one CD and then selected "use last used settings" which worked okay but I was wondering if there would be a more obvious way to make these changes.

The first point I looked was the "Settings - Configure k3b - Modules" but didn't really found something to configure mp3 as standard output.

Maybe a startup wizard where you can choose the standard output etc. might also be something worth discussing.

This report is not meant to offend anyone of you developers. I appreciate you developing this software and making it available to everyone.

Hi Maik,

There is: https://github.com/KDE/k3b/blob/master/src/rip/k3baudioconvertingoptionwidget.cpp#L301

and $HOME/.config/k3brc should like this:


[last used Audio Ripping]                                                          
blank replace string=_                                                             
create_playlist=false                                                              
encoder=k3bexternalencoder                                                         
filename pattern=%A - %T/%n - !a='%A'{%a - }%t                                     
filetype=mp3
...
