Thanks for the info.  I went ahead and got most of the way there with a 
number of problems:

1) Sound Juicer reads the original CD, shows me both tracks.  I select 
the first track and click on Extract.
Immediately, I get:
Sound juicer could not extract this CD.
Reason: Could not link pipeline.

What's this about and how do I fix it?  (Jack could do it - see below).

2) I got Jack to rip the track to a .wav file (which it left around when 
it died trying to do mp3 encoding).
So, I fired up Audacity and edited the track.  Audacity was really nice 
for this.  But, when I went to encode it as an mp3, Audacity asked for a 
Lame library file that I don't have (because Lame isn't installed).
I went into Adept and the closest thing I found was glame which didn't 
help.  I tried a straight download and install of the latest Lame, but 
it bombed out in configure where it looked like the parameters it passed 
to gcc were wrong for the version of gcc I have and it couldn't create a 
test object file.

So, from what repository do I get Lame for kubuntu dapper and how do I 
add the repository to Adept (dpkg).... Or, what version of Lame do I 
need for my system, where do I get it and what magic do I do to install it?

3) Not to be defeated so easily, I ported the wav file to Windoze and 
used a built-in utility to convert it to an mp3 (with the highest 
quality - 400+ MB).  Then I burned it onto a CD and thought I was done.
But, when I insert the disk and Windoze Media Player starts, it 
encounters an error with the disk and won't play.  However, when I clear 
the error and select the file, it plays fine.  When I put it in my CD 
player (which has a big "mp3" written on on it), it reads for awhile and 
then says disk error.

So, what's the right way to make a CD of mp3's - I've never done that 
before?

TIA

Joe
