[newbie] KAudioCreator Help

Hello,
I would like to know how to set the kb/rate for the .ogg files that make ripping an audio cd with Kaudiocreator, the default is 112 kbs, I would like to increase it to 192 or 256 kbs.
Thanks for your help.
Tullo.

I'm not sure if Kaudiocreator actually uses this setting, but there's one for the audiocd ioslave in the control center:
Sound & Multimedia -> Audio CDs -> Tab "Ogg Vorbis Encoder"

Thanks for your help, I have tried to change settings with the control center but KaudioCreator creates .ogg files always at 112 kbps.
Any other idea?
Thanks.

No, unfortunately not. I'm not using Kaudiocreator myself.

To encode one of my CDs I use Konqueror and the audiocd ioslave that uses the setting I described. If you want to try that: Type audiocd:/ in Konqi's location bar. It will display different "virtual" files and directories. If you drag files from the Ogg Vorbis directory and drop them to the desktop or a file manager window KDE will rip and encode the tracks on-the-fly. Pretty cool.

I have just tried this method and it works very well, I don't need KAudioCreator or Grip any more, thanks for your advice.

Well, if you're still interested in KAudioCreator, all you have to do is add the following argument to the command-line options for OggEnc:
[code:1]--managed -b <bitrate>[/code:1]
The "-b" flag sets your own average bitrate. You can also use "-m" and "-M" to set the minimum and maximum bitrates respectively.

You can add your command-line argument to OggEnc by going to "Configure KAudioCreator," click "Encoder," choose "OggEnc" and press the "Configure" button.

I just installed OggEnc and took the steps above to rip a few songs in ogg format. It worked. :)
