HACK
For a more entertaining experience, put an audio CD into your CD-ROM
drive and type
audiocd:/ in the Location field. You should see all the tracks
represented as individual WAV files. Depending on the plug-ins you have
installed, you might also see folders for MP3 and Ogg Vorbis sound files. If
you want to convert the songs on the CD to Ogg Vorbis format, simply open
the Ogg Vorbis folder, drag tracks from the Ogg Vorbis folder to another
folder on your disk, and choose Copy from the pop-up menu. Konqueror
will perform the conversion automatically as it copies the files.
Open the KDE Control Center and click Sound & Multime-
dia
Audio CDs to fine-tune the settings for your audio
CD, how KDE formats the filenames for song tracks, and set-
tings for the available sound formats, such as MP3 and Ogg
Vorbis.
Want to locate every filename or directory name on your system that con-
tains the string “Vorbis”? Type
locate:Vorbis in the Location field and Kon-
queror will present you with everything it finds.
You can even view and manage your printers from within Konqueror. Type
print:/ in the Location field to get to icons that will let you view your print-
ers and print jobs, manage your printers, and more.
You can find a complete list of the protocols Konqueror supports on your
machine by starting the KDE help system and clicking
