Making mp3d from video/audio source

I was actually looking around how to do it in ubuntu today. And to answer your question, use ffmpeg in console.

type:

ffmpeg -i -vn

the i means input and the vn means no video.

so,

ffmpeg -i tvshow.avi -vn tvshow.mp3

now you will have a mp3 rip of that avi file. Hope this helps.

Amarok for editing Media Tags

Need to quickly edit mutiple mp3s to have the same album or tag information?

Amarok can help you! Just load the mp3s / whatever media into the playlist,
then select/highlight the media files you wish to edit.
Then right click to bring up the context menu while over the selection.
You will see a menu option that says " Edit Tags".

So select it and edit away! Now all those mp3s etc can have the right info so when you send them to your mp3 player you can quickly get to what you want to play.
