By default Banshee rips CDs in Ogg Vorbis format. I prefer to rip my CDs in FLAC format. I can't find a setting anywhere to make Banshee rip to FLAC.

Is this possible? How do I do it?

In Banshee's Edit->Preferences select the "Source Specific" tab, and then select "Audio CDs" under "Source". Under "Input Format" you should be able to select "Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC)".

Note: you will need the libflac8install libflac8 package installed, but this should be installed by default on Ubuntu as part of the GStreamer "good" plugins (gstreamer0.10-plugins-goodinstall gstreamer0.10-plugins-good ).

  • Mine was actually on FLAC already and I don't remember changing it...

  • I missed it too, the Banshee documentation needs updating.
