Problem with K3b and Lame using Mint 6 (32 and 64 bit)

[PurplePants]

Hi

I have Mint 6 32 bit running on my laptop and the 64 bit on the desktop. I have installed K3b and Lame via Synaptic and when I try to rip a CD, I'm getting error message saying command failed. I can't rip using either the laptop or desktop. I get the same error message from both.

I have also installed Flac using Synaptic and K3b rip CDs fine to Flac. Looking at the plugin listed under K3n, Lame is not listed so I'm assuming it's a plugin issue? Any idea how I can get K3b to install the Lame plugin?

You can go into settings and change the settings for 'external encoder' to enable both "Swap Byte Order" and "Write Wave Header". I can't be more specific as I currently don't have K3B or KDE installed.

Have you tried using Banshee to rip your CDs? I love K3B for burning and copying discs, but I think Banshee is better (and more friendly) for ripping CDs.
