But I'm stuck trying to rip them to MP3. I've tried k3b but that doesn't offer MP3 as an output option. I've also installed soundkonverter (rather than soundconverter as I'm using kde for a desktop) but despite saying that it can use FFmpeg as a plugin, there is still no MP3 option.
Am I doing something wrong?
The system is Mandriva 2011 64 bit.
mp3 is a patent encumbered format so some/many/all distros don't support encoding to mp3 out the box. It sounds like you may need to install some packages that will allow you to encode to mp3.
And a simple search for "MP3 encoding mandriva" will get you the answer.
