I'm tring to encode from CD directly to "mp3", as in Lame Ain't MP3
(or whatever the TLA is) but am having trouble with yum.  Do I have to
do this manually with rpm's, or even source?  How do others do this?

Also, in terms of grip, I'm not seeing an encode option.  That is, if
I "just rip" to flac, how does grip encode that to mp3?
