Hi I’m a newbie to Suse and determined to stick with it.
Mp3s play in amarok, option to rip cd to mp3s as well. However empty folder created with no MP3. I tried K3B and error re: need MP3 Mad MP3 library. I have read various forum posts and can’t pinpoint where the issue arises.
I have gone through steps on multimedia repos and restricted formats.
I will submit details of my system shortly, but in meantime wonder if there is a simple solution I am missing not done.
thanks Ben.
You need an .mp3-encoder. Install the package ‘lame’ via YaST or simply do
zypper in lame
Hi Gropiuskalle
I have run the zypper above. I get the MP3 option now in Dolphine. Also seems to start ripping in Amarok. In both though only creates the folders. No MP3.
For starters here is my first and second Alsa details, but think this just relates to sound card settings. I can play MP3 and all other forms of music etc.

I think the problem lies with some of the packages or repos I have in my system. Will try to find the code to run and copy this info here.
You need to follow the Restricted formats/11.3 - openSUSE Community Wiki Guide. That will bring in full multimedia support incl. ripping to mp3 (through k3b or special ripping programs)
Hi run I ran through that guide at first install using one click install. I rerun via terminal. Via the 10 steps by reddwarf (results below) it looks like I am missing a few packages: gstreamer - mpeg demux, bad, ugly, extra…
I will rerun the wiki steps suggested to see if this sorts it.
Sorry about glitches in terminal code - still getting to grips with the commands/syntax.

Bingo… excellent. Rerun 10 steps and wiki link and ripped fine in K3B. Will try amarok and dolphin next. Thanks for help.
Have you tried Konqueror instead of Dolphin? I remember that I had problems too with ripping CDs to .mp3-files with Dolphin, whereas it worked fine and hassle-free in Konqueror.

Install rippit.

When in doubt, use brute force.

Rikishi42, it’s called ‘ripit’, not ‘rippit’. Also, ripit is using lame as well (just like any other sane CD-to-.mp3-ripper).
You might have noticed that waveheadwales has solved his problem anyway.
Hi thanks. Yes solved issue can rip via K3B now. Wouldn’t before as error message missing MP3mad.
lame-3.98.4-2.pm.4.1.i586’ is the highest available version and is already installed. So nothing to do.
Amarok though has same issue - folders but no mp3 file… 
.
Dolpin get same error message as before.
would be good to sort either Dolphin or Amarok as well.
Wavehead,
You might also want to consider asunder(it’s in the Packman repos) it’ll put the mp3’s in a folder you specify.
There’s an extra “K3b-codec” package too, installs the mp3 encoder as a regular plugin and configures it like the ogg plugin.
FYI

I would give this program a try after you install Lame from Pacman -> KAudioCreator
Pick the download for your openSUSE version and install it. It’s great with ripping Audio. Bit limited with option but very functional when you ‘just want to rip a cd’.
I used to use K3b and created this tutorial on my blog after my struggles to get it working. Might put it under the How to section if other can confirm it actually works rotfl!
Yes, asunder is very good, gives more tag info usually when K3b doesnt.
FYI
