Xubuntu is able to play CDs and to copy tracks from them to your computer („ripping”).
If you would like to keep a copy of an audio CD on your computer without needing to insert the CD to listen to it, it is possible to rip or extract the music onto your computer.
By default, Xubuntu does not include an application to extract audio CDs onto your computer. However, you can easily install the Sound Juicer CD Extractor application, which is able to rip CDs.
Once installed, you can start Sound Juicer manually by choosing → → . Alternatively, once installed it should start automatically when you insert an audio CD.
To start ripping your audio CD, make sure the tracks that you want to rip are selected, then click the Ctrl+Enter. The ripping process may take a while to complete.
button or pressMożesz skorzystać z okna preferencji, aby zdecydować gdzie mają zostać zapisane zgrane pliki dźwiękowe, jakie mają mieć nazwy, w jakim formacie mają być zapisane, używając jakiego kodeka. W głównym oknie wybierz
→ .Sound Juicer potrafi zgrać pliki dźwiękowe do następujących formatów:
Ogg Vorbis - Wolny od patentów stratny format kompresji dźwięku, charakteryzujący się zwykle wyższą jakością i lepszą kompresją niż MP3.
FLAC - Otwarty, bezstratny kodek Audio. Może on skompresować pliki dźwiękowe do ok. 50% rozmiaru bez utraty jakiejkolwiek informacji ze strumienia dźwięku.
WAV - Zwykle używany do nagrywania głosu. Sound Juicer używa tego formatu do monofonicznych plików dźwiękowych niskiej jakości.
You can also extract CD audio files to the proprietary, non-free MP3 format. Instructions on how to rip to the MP3 format are in the help for Sound Juicer. Choose → and navigate to the Preferences section.
More information on choosing an audio format can be found on the Vorbis and FLAC websites.
You can burn audio CDs of your music using a program called Brasero which is included in Xubuntu by default. To launch Brasero select → → .
Once Brasero has launched select from the main screen. Select the files you would like to burn on to your CD from the right area of the window and drag them over to the left area which shows the current contents of you audio CD project.
Once you are ready to burn your CD project on to a disc, make sure that there is a blank CD-R in your CD burner and click .

The status bar next to the button allows you to see how much space your project will take up when it is burned to a CD. That way you can fit as many songs as possible into your project. |
