Re: What I'm doing wrong? Ripped tracks won't play on Ipod

Thanks Todd.  file command returns audio/mpeg on the ripped files.
I wondered why Grip would use oggenc to create mp3s.  But that was the only 
option grip let me choose to make mp3s.  So are you saying that my configuration 
is creating ogg files with mp3 extensions?  I suppose that would explain why 
they don't play.  I will look for some rpms that enable mp3.
