Yesterday I commited some code to the Collection Browser that allows it to accept URLs with the audiocd:/ protocol. If your machine supports this (the audiocd:/ kioslave is probably in the kdemultimedia package), you can rip by doing the following;
- Open KControl. Go to Sound and Multimedia->Audio CDs. Configure your ripping preferences.
- Open Konqueror. Go to audiocd:/
- Go into whatever folder you want your tracks encoded as, i.e. Ogg Vorbis will contain Vorbis "files" that you can select.
- Drag these tracks to amaroK's Collection Browser.
amaroK will perform a KIO copy, which will result in a seamless rip of the track and import of the track into your collection. Easy as pie, and using KDE's built-in capabilities to boot!
