If it doesn't work, tell me! <P> In order to run Jack, you <B>must</B> have the following installed: <UL> <LI>python 1.5.2: with earlier versions freedb query and ripping-from-image will not work. You also need the following modules (they are all part of the python source distribution but some may not be installed by default, since Version 2 Jack no longer needs threads; it's now a lot easier to get is to work.): <UL><LI><B>termios</B> <LI>sndhdr <LI>urllib <LI>pty <LI>wav </UL> If it doesn't run, check these first! <LI>Ben Gertzfield's <A href=http://csl.cse.ucsc.edu/~ben/python/>ID3 module</A> WARNING: version 0.5 is buggy, use at least 0.6. No need to download it, I packaged it with jack. <LI><A href=http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/>cdparanoia</A> or <A href=http://dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de/~olli/tosha/>tosha</A> for audio extraction <LI>df (comes with any unix) </UL> You will also have to install at least one of these MP3 encoders: <UL> <LI><A href=http://home8.swipnet.se/~w-82625/encoder/>bladeenc</A> <LI><A href=http://www.sulaco.org/mp3/>lame</A> <LI>mp3enc <LI>l3enc </UL> Optional: <UL> <LI>a patched <A href=cursesmodule-with-resizeterm-1.5b2.tar.gz>cursesmodule</A>, if you want to use the new curses pseudographical mode <LI><A href=http://www.cs.vu.nl/~bernsti/xtermset/>xtermset</A> <LI><A href=http://www.ping.de/sites/daneb/cdrdao.html>cdrdao</A> </UL> Wanna go <A href=index.html>home</A>? <HR> <HRULE> <A NAME="BOTTOM"></A> <ADDRESS><SMALL> "All trademarks are owned by their owners" or whatever I have to state.</BR> © Arne Zellentin, <A HREF="mailto:zarne@users.sf.net">zarne@users.sf.net</A> </SMALL></ADDRESS> <SMALL>(changed: 19-Aug-99)</SMALL> </body> </html>
