Even worse: bash-2.02$ cd /usr/ports/audio/8hz-mp3/ bash-2.02$ make ===> 8hz-mp3-0.2b is marked as broken: licensing issues. mpegaudio is also in the ports collection, and includes mpeg_musicin, which will do the job. However, it seems to want to output the entire audio stream to /dev/tty in ascii while doing the conversion (yuck). bladeenc isn't necessarily quieter or faster, but at least it's output isn't as ugly! Anyone got cd-paranoia to work for grabbing and cataloguing the tracks on a disk using these tools?
