====== K3b ======

===== Ripping to mp3 =====

Install the **lame** non-free package.

Configure Lame //Settings// => //Configure K3b// => //Plugins// => //Audio Encoder// => //K3b External Audio Econder//:

^ Name  | Mp3 (Lame)  |
^ Extension  | mp3  |
^ Command  |  lame --preset standard --tt %t --ta %a --tl %m --ty %y --tc %c - %f  |
^ Swap Byte Order  | True  |
^ Write Wave Header  | True  |

The default byte ordering assumed for **WAVE** data files is **little-endian**, so it is the **i386** architecture, so the //Swap Byte Order// should not be required. But I need this option, otherwise extracted audio is white noise.

Byte order swapping can also be accomplished by the **''lame -x''** switch.
