I don't remember emergeing it either but I may have. I did figure out what I did earlier. Tell me if you think I am doing wrong here. When I insert a CD, the window pops up on what to do. I select 'extract and encode'. Then it saves it to ~/wav when I tell it to 'rip' them. I then move it to my music directory ~/music. After that, Amarok picks it right up and they play fine. The only thing that I do not like is this. I have to use the PCM slider to control my music volume which also controls the volume of the sound of notifications in KDE too. So when I turn up the music volume it seems to turn up everything else too. Any way around this? Thanks for the help. Sometimes I just need a little help getting started. I'm disabled so time is something I have to much of sometimes. I like to tinker with my rig. Now to move my OS to another drive without messing up anything. ;-) Wish me luck. Thanks Dale :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
