Title: mp3 or ogg Ripping
Subject: ripping music with nolame, cdparanoia, and scsi emulation 
# install perl modules that assist with ripping

# Install nolame encoder. 
# It does variable bit rate encoding, for improved compression.
   Title:	nolame
   URL: 	http://www.idiap.ch/~sanders/not_lame/
   Downloaded:  notlame-3.92-i686.tar.gz
   		encode_scripts.tar.gz
   Encoding:
   -  Your ears are not going to hear much at frequencies past 16 kHz
   -  Most music encoded at 128 kbps has a theoretical maximum
       frequency of 22 kHz (due to the 44 kHz sampling rate).
   -  By using a 32 kHz sampling rate, you can use a significantly
       lower bitrate for MP3 encoding (e.g. 96 kbps), thus you
       can fit more music on your mp3 player.
   -  To encode with nolame at 96Kbps,
       `notlame --alt-preset 96 input.wav output.mp3`
   -  To reencode an mp3 to 96Kbps,
       `notlame --alt-preset 96 input.mp3 output.mp3`
   -  Variable Bit-Rate (VBR) - sections of the music are encoded at a highter bit rate.
   -  WMA is a proprietary format, and WMA at 64 kbps is crap.
