Hi everyone,
Yes, I still rip music CDs myself, which makes me part of a dying breed 
. So far, I’ve been using K3b to rip the CDs. I use it to create Ogg Vorbis files with a dynamic bitrate. All the necessary codecs and tools are installed.
I’d like to try out Audex and have installed the latest version from Flathub. In Audex, the only formats available to me are FLAC, MP3, and WAV. I can’t add Ogg Vorbis in the profiles either. What am I doing wrong?

We’ll be a dying breed together; I do it too! It’s still a reasonable way to actually end up owning music.
You’re not doing anything wrong; the Flatpak packaging currently doesn’t include Ogg support. I’d like it too! It’s under discussion: Include support for additional codecs into the flatpak version? (#6) · Issues · Multimedia / Audex · GitLab
That’s exactly why I’m doing this—I want to own music, not “rent” it . Am I understanding the discussion correctly that adding Ogg Vorbis wouldn’t be difficult, but would have to be done through Audex’s “builder”? I’m not very familiar with creating packages.
Ogg Vorbis is now available in version 26.04.3. Thanks for that!! However, I did find a small bug. I create Ogg Vorbis files with a dynamic bitrate: Min=256, Max=512. In Audex, I can enable the corresponding options and set these values. After applying the settings, the Min value always resets to 200.
Can you report this on bugs.kde.org?
