[arch-general] Audio cd ripper

Hello, I am searching for an audio cd ripper for my Arch Linux box and have some questions about that. 1.) K3B fails to encode to mp3 (lame) on my computer maybe because of being an alpha version. Encoding to ogg works fine. Can anyone confirm this behaviour? 2.) If I use soundKonverter (KDE 3 version) from the repos, nothing happend by starting the progress by clicking the button. Did I forget anything to configure? Thank you for your help. Greetings Lars Tennstedt
