When you extract music from a CD onto a computer, it must be stored in a specific <emphasis>audio format</emphasis>. The default format used by Rhythmbox is Ogg Vorbis (<filename>.ogg</filename> or <filename>.oga</filename>). This is explained in <xref linkend="music-extract"/>.

212.

Not all portable audio players are able to play files in the Ogg Vorbis format; for example, iPods cannot play this format. In order for your player to recognize your songs, you must convert them to a format which it supports. Nearly every player on the market supports the MP3 format, so this is usually a safe bet.

You can convert existing audio files to other formats using <ulink url="apt:soundconverter">Sound Converter</ulink>. The output format can be selected in the Sound Converter preferences.
