What I have always missed for years and years is a field for the cd number. And the associated entry in the wizard. Unfortunately it is not a tag in lame but other apps like clementine can set it (and it is even used in mpd to order tracks for example).

adding cover image and albumartist field would be nice

album artist is used by Amarok (iirc) in setting up collection

geflei

Yes, but has to wait for a later version.

A generic cover fetch for kde would be nice as we have a few apps for that (amarok, kid, audex, ka...)

as best as I can tell Amarok and Audex use pretty much the same code for cover retrieval (though currently Audex's version is broke)

The last release (1.2.90) does not include translations, though KAudioCreator is translated into many languages: http://l10n.kde.org/stats/gui/trunk-kde4/po/kaudiocreator.po/

Updated blog post about Kaudiocreator: http://linuxgrandma.blogspot.com/2010/04/kaudiocreator-returns-in-kde4.html

In short, now available as part of kdemultimedia; PPA no longer needed.

Hi, when i compile kaudiocreator i get rpmlint errors like:
kaudiocreator-debuginfo.x86_64: E: world-writable /usr/src/debug/kaudiocreator-1.2.81/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/ui_encodefile.h 0666

You know by chance how to solve that? Or explain the reason why those files are world writable?

Thanks by the way for the KDE4 port!

Thanks to Apachelogger, package is now available at https://edge.launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/beta

To add the PPA: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/beta

This will import the key. Update and then sudo apt-get install kaudiocreator

Audex is also available; somewhat of a fork of this wonderful program. Thanks so much to the programmer to porting to KDE4. I appreciate it very much!

It would be nice to have it auto scan for other encoders that are installed such as nero and faac. I would rather have nero but would like any others. I am glad to see the program back. I missed it and still used it even though it was not for KDE 4.

This has been desperately needed since KDE 4.x was released. Thank you very much!

I'm having a hard time getting lame to encode VBR. I added "-V 2" to the command line but it still shows as 128 bits in VLC Media Player.

What am I missing?

TomB17

I believe lame is working properly. The problem seems to be VLC Media Player incorrectly reporting 128kbps bit rate on it's codec page.

I've now migrated to the following parameter, "--alt-preset standard"

Hi all,

I would like to know if there is a way to add Kaudiocreator to the list of actions allowed when I insert the cd? (I hope you understand what I mean) :-\

tnx

Leo

Go to System Settings > 'Advanced' tab > Device Actions

Create a new profile for a device action and point it to the program. You can use the existing profile for "Play Audio CD with KsCD" as a guide.

Now when you insert a audio disc a option to use KAudioCreator.

The package maintainers should be able to add a option to update a system configuration file on install for this action.

apachelogger

Ahoy!

Are you planning on getting KAudioCreator back into kdemultimedia, or is it going to stay in extragear?

Just asking because I am working on a Kubuntu package, and our version number depends a lot on where you are heading with KAC :)

geflei

Currently I have no plans for moving it back to kdemultimedia.

apachelogger

Alright, thanks for the information :)

pippo73

This is a pity :( think about it... I was missing it in kde4 :)

geflei
10 years ago

Hmm, I think the main thing is that it is ported to kde4 at all. And if it is packaged for distributions (like apachelogger is doing for kubuntu) there should be no difference for it to live in kdemultimedia or extragear. Also, imho more flexible releases are possible as I can only work on it if my job and girlfriend permit. :)

Phonon is a part of Qt4 now. Do you have already the dev package installed (libqt4-phonon-dev oder so)?

pippo73
10 years ago

Unfortunately both libqt4-phonon-dev and libphonon-dev are installed :(
any other ideas?

Looking around I found this bug
http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cmake/+bug/386742

reinstalling libqt4-phonon-dev package solved the problem.

Tnx for the help
